Cheers for all the advice guys, much appreciated

It's not a problem that two days of the same reading is it ? Surely that will drop tomorrow ?

Aye, well that's what I was thinking, maybe just a wee stir to rouse the yeast and trub that's settled at the bottom, but wasnt sure if that was kosher

It was mashed between 63 and 65, raised and dropped slightly but should have been accurate ad I was using my new brewster beacon with the pump on for circulation

It's been sitting at between 18 during the night and 20 during the day. Maybe a bit low but shouldn't stall it I would have thought ?

Hi guys, I have an american wheat beer in the fermented for 10 days now and two days In a row the gravity readings have been 1020. Just used wheat malt, lager malt and some carapils.

Hi guys, what's the procedure for adding rolled oats to a mash ? Is there anything you have to do to them before hand like grinding or soaking or do you just mix them in amongst your grain and mash as normal ?

Ah good to know. I've never seem that sheet before, thanks very much

Hi guys, why do we rehydrate dry yeast ? I've been doing it since I started but the packets always say just top sprinkle over the top. Is dehydrating a much butter process than just following the manufacturer instructions ?

Hi guys, how does everyone store their dry yeast ? I used to just keep the packets in a cupboard but I've been reading lately than you should keep them in the fridge ? Does anyone do this ? Cheers in advance

Brilliant, that's great mate, thank you

Does crushing just before use have any advantage then ? Or should I save myself the £80 and not bother with the crusher ?

That's great Mate, thanks. Very reassuring to get someone from this forum endorsing something.

Oh really, that's good to know. I always thought once it was crushed it started to lose some of its value. Thanks for putting me right

oh really, thats great news then. im pretty ignorant when comes to these things, i didnt realise thats how these things work. thanks very much.

hi guys, im looking to place an order for grain but im wondering how long uncrushed grain will store for before it goes bad ? im gonna get a crusher so i can crush just before mashing ( as my water is heating up basically) its just so i can place one order and hopefully that will last me for a...

ok, is there a no rinse sanitser out there that doesnt have to be such a low ph as my tap water is around the 5 mark. or is there a process you would recomend to raise the ph so the sanatiser becomes effective ?

hi guys, hopefully im posting this in the correct section. im looking to order some of the chemsan but im concerned about the instructions regarding keeping your water at ph3. is this essiential if im diluting it and using it straight away (or within the hour) and then throwing it away? im not...
