Hi, I've checked the lid I can't tighten it anymore. I opened it before to look if anything was happening inside but it just looks like black liquid no signs of anything happening. Cheers

Yes it's at 20c.

Hi everyone, I brewed a oatmeal stout on Friday and haven't seen any signs of fermentation. No bubbles in the airlock, or no foam on the top. Should I put more yeast in? Or is it already ruined. Cheers.

H, i yes a prefer hoppy beer aswell. It's 15g of simcoe. I'll put it in for the last 5 days see what happens. Cheers.

Thanks for the info. Yes they're dry pellets. I'm planning on leaving the beer in the demijon for 2 weeks just to make sure fermentation is over. So should I add the dry hops 2 days before the end or sooner? Cheers.

Hi, I actually ordered one the other day. It's on its way. Have you got any idea of how to dry hop in a demijon? Cheers

Hi thanks for the quick reply. Good to know its still fermenting. I don't really want to check the gravity. Like you said it uses up a lot of beer and I haven't got much to start with. Plus it's in a demijon so it will be a pain to get out. Cheers.

Hi, I brewed my first 5 litres AG Belgien ipa on Sunday. Its been bubbling away since then but today its stopped. Does that mean it's stopped fermenting or has it just calmed down a bit? How long does it usually last. The temp is 21 degrees. Cheers.

Not long. I spotted it straight away and put the demijon in an ice bath and brought it down pretty quick. I think it's OK cause its starting to bubble away now. Can't seem to get the temperature below 22 though. It's that OK? Cheers.

Thanks Slid, good idea. The first brew was enjoyable until I messed the yeast up a bit. I had a bit of trouble trying to keep the right temperature for the mash but I suppose that'll come with experience. Cheers.

Oh that's good then, thanks for the quick reply. Cheers.

Hi just done my 1st AG 5l batch. Everything went well till I transferred to the fermenter and put the yeast in then noticed the thermometer on the demi John said 33.c. I stuck the demijon into cold water and it's gone down to 22.c.up to now. Will the the heat be dead now? Cheers.

Hi, that's great. Thanks for explaining. I'm just gonna start my first 5l batch. Fingers crossed. Cheers.

Hi, if I double to a 10 litre batch would the water ratio just double? So it would be 6l strike water and 8l more heated up to 80c for 10 mins? And can I use that mash and water ratio on any 10 litre AG recipe I make? Could I also use the 8 litres of water to fly sparge instead? Is their a...

Cheers, that makes sense. Have a good day.

OK cheers Clint. I'll just leave it like that then.

Hi everyone, I've just started using brewfather and scaled a Greg Hughes brown porter recipe down from 23l to 5l biab no sparge. It says I should heat up 8.21litres of water then add the grains and mash for 60 mins. Does that seem like a lot of water for a 5l batch? It says the boil volume will...

OK niceone. Thanks for the quick response everyone. Have a good evening. Cheers.

Hi everyone, I'm brewing my first 5l AG at the weekend. It's a Belgian ipa that said I should add hops at 0 minutes. I presume this means at the end of the boil but how long do i leave them in there? I'm brewing on my stove in a 10 l pan. I was gonna add the various hops in a hop bag or should I...

Cheers for the link.
