i used lager yeast and about 2 and half grams of yeast in 1 gallon demijohn, packet said 10c to15c but my fridge with only do 2c to 8c or just 17c , so i have been switching between 8c to 17c to keep it round the 10c and 12c which is a pain .

I have brewed my first 2 gallon lager 3 days ago and there both in the fridge bubbling away , I am trying to ferment at 10c should i set my fridge temperature to 8c to account for any heat from the fermentation process?

One demijohn is bubbling but the other one has not yet , bit worried about the other demijohn as they are both in the same fridge .

that's something i picked up on with the airlock it came with red caps i thought they where just covers to keep clean in storage, do they need to be on the airlock , what dose the cotton do?

true but its not something i will probably do next time i was in a hurry and wanted to go bed , i think i got the sanitation right I used some Chemsan and boiling water , just want the brew to start bubbling now :oops:

i read something about vodka being good to kill germs so i put some in the airlock , but its not the only thing i did because i added some tap water to the wart to cool it down and i am not so sure i should have done that although the tap water is normally clean, I am still learning and i...

i think maybe i should have took the temp of the wort before adding the yeast but the pan felt cool , I noticed in the s airlock after i used some vodka in them it moved to one side , the side that enters the demijohn not sure if that's normal and i might have add to much vodka in one of...

thanks for all the tips , i am doing the 60 min boil and all is going well , it didn't got quite to plain as i was going to use a muslin bag but did get any so had to drain the malt with a strainer instead and find extra pans could have done with an extra 15L pan . should i just shake the...

just about to start my first brew and trying to remember everything i have read and watch so far , so this question is probably a beginner one , Is it ok to do a boil with 2 gallons in one pan and then split the wort up into two 1 gallon demijohns for fermentation

my thought was when fermented just fill the keg make it airtight and store and let naturally carbonation happen, then maybe a few weeks before use start adding some Co2 from cartridges.

I am actually considering the Dark Farm 10L Black Mini Keg ! I was wondering How long does it take to carbonation with co2 ? my other question is when the beer is fermented can i store the beer sealed in the keg but without any co2 .

Can anyone recommend what hops would go nice for a larger recipe with amount and time , i am doing 1 gallon using larger malt
