Wouldn't u be taking a chance opening up the corny to stir wouldn't the risk of oxidation or infection not be pretty high? I've heard purging everyday than pressurising is an option has anyone heard of this.....

I have a corny keg of Simply Stout (a 40 pint extract kit made with 1 kg of brew sugar) but I also have what I can only describe is a sulphury smell and taste coming from it. It finished fermenting approx 3 weeks ago and stayed in my fv before I kegged it just over a week ago. I forced carbed it...

So this is pretty normal then. I think there must have been enough marbles as it sank to the bottom when I.put it in. I'm planning to leave it in 7 days till Monday hopefully by that time it will be fine

Last night i dry hopped 100g of hops into a muslin bag and weighed it down with marbles. Today o e day later the bag is floating at the top of beer. Is this normal

I think my fv is fine....I checked.my measuring jug with my pint measure and.all seems.fine...I do not think the amount of water.in the fv is the problem....if others on YouTube etc say they getting approx 4.5 % when adding 1kg brew sugar I'd think me doing the same with slightly less than 40...

I have done the volume indicator thing on my FV's by carefully measuring 40 pints and have marked each FV accordingly. So this is def not an issue also I have checked numerous places and it claims this brew comes out around 4/4.5% when brewed to 40 pints + 1kg brewing sugar. I have brewed it to...

I have just purchased a plastic carbonation cap and would like to know the best, easiest and simplest method of fill plastic pet bottles with beer from my corny kegs. I have also purchased some 5/16th tubing which I have cut to size to reach the bottom of the bottles. I have read a few ways of...

I have dry hopped extract kits before with to me decent results.. I am more interested in the three hops I have at moment cascade, chinook, amaryllis and there compatibility with each other if combined....that is more what I am trying to find.out.

never done a hop tea but i am open to all suggestions .

I am making 3 Simply 1.8kg Pale Ale Extract kits which I got along with 1kg free Brewing Sugar in a good deal for £10.81 I also bought 100g each of Amarillo, Cascade & Chinook Just wondering if anyone has ever made an ale specifically using these 3 hops and if so how did it turn out? I have 3...

Ty all for your feedback.....much appreciated

So basically someone who does it correctly stirs it well etc and someone who doesn't will in the end get the same result the same fg the same abv....yes?

As a matter.of interest say the wort in a brew hasn't been mixed properly will the beer still ferment out and finish at the same fG as it would have done if mixed properly or not?

Stirred it and took readings with my 2 hydrometers......one is 1036 & the other is 1038......massive difference so I do think probably stirring may have been the culprit but I am giving them a good one for 5 or 6 minutes isn't this enough? The muntons gold imperial stout is a fantastic tasting...

I won't......I'll do it shortly and post my reading....

What if I stir it now and take another reading would this give me a better idea or would I not get a correct reading because the yeast has been added...would this be worth a try or not ?

I poured the 2 tins of extract into the fv along with 2 kettles (4L) boiling water and stirred vigorously for 5 or 6 minutes before topping up to 21L....
