If it's any help, I find that if you are pouring your sugar solution into your fv, when I do so I place the syphon end at the base/bottom of the fv to ensure that all the sugar is dispersed as the beer dilutes this merrily throughout the volume. :thumb:

Hi, I had a pint in "the temple" - an old toilet turned pub in manchester - small but has to be experienced; cool and weird at the same time. Had a glass of Krombacher pils, and I've had memories ever since. Has anyone got a clue how to get a close AG likeness to this? :wha:

CHEERS GUYS :thumb: ......glad I'm not the only one who's got some crauzen incontinence! :clap:

Is this the trub and all that you have in the pet or the end product of ditching the liquid twice until onoly yeast sediment is present? Also could you enlighten me towards how long this would keep in the fridge? Cheers.

Has anyone used the brewferm lager yeast, and if so what kind of results and how well did the sedementation compact? Cheers!

Cheers, just what the barman ordered :clap:

hi, Could anyone enlighten me about when to dump a yeast cake upon the next batch of beer - off a primary which is being racked or off the sediment of the secondary? Many thanks, Cwrw :wha:

Wanted - Apple and elderflower wine recipe. Hi, I'm looking for a recipe that is made from apples and elderflower, and not from a kit. I'm planning ahead for the autumn and need some guidance. Any help appreciated :thumb:

Point taken, Thanks :thumb:

Point taken, but isn't mashing a sort of cooking process in itself :hmm:. I'm just wondering if 8% of flakes would really be that overpowering in spoiling flavour. P.S aiming for a Stella type lager.

CHEERS for the answers guys - I guess I'll save the flakes for breakfast :whistle:

Here's a stupid proposition - If my grain supplier has not got flaked corn, is it beyond stupidity to use a box of corn flakes (500g) in the mash instead of parhaps the flaked rice which he stocks at a rather hefty price? :grin:

I'd left it for a total of 8 days, which is including transfer from primary to secondary and up to time of bottling. No finnings were used during these stages (with only the use of protofloc at the last 15 minutes of boil). Usually I've had no difficulty as such :wha: Storing temperatures have...

The thing is it did'nt - it has been present in every single bottle ...what a bumer!

I've had two last beers that have been plagued by hot break material - white clouds at the bottom of my bottles. I have been emptying my boiler earlier of late as I wanted to get a better start temperature for the yeasties. I had thought the unwanted material had come from inefficient protofloc...

Cheers Judge Dred! :D

Now I do feel a bit better and will go for a combination of the recipe and an element of stepped temperature control during the mash (by adding hotter water middway which seemed to work well with a vienna I made last year) - well appreciated. Thanks to you all :clap: :D

Oh well...thanks for the uptake...I guess I'll have to store my yogurt and milk outside with the wife :wha:

Hi, I'm running out of space, particularly within the lagering end of my projects as I store all bottles upright. If I lager and store with bottles upon their sides, will the yeast escape earlier (as it would have taken residence upon the side of the bottle)when I pour and spoil a clear beer as...

Thanks for the replies. I guess it does'nt sound good for this clone - however, Ill think positively and wait a little longer for an alternative and then pack in this venture. :thumb:
