    Possible Stall

    Muntons Imperial Stout Started - 1042 5 Days = 1017 9 Days = 1016 Temperature has been between 19.5 and 20.5°c from begining. I have read elsewhere to give it a stir and raise temperature a little ? Does taking the lid of and stirring risk infection ? what should I raise temp to 20.5 - 21.5 ?

    Malt Extract Tins ?

    so is it different types of yeast that make the Malt Extract into either Porter, Imperial or other types of beers. ? I had presumed the tins would vary from kit to kit - but may be not ?

    Malt Extract Tins ?

    I have had a bit of a mix up with the tins from a couple of Muntons kits, (the 'Imperial Stout' and the 'Porter') as the tins are un-labelled apart from a code number I got the tins mixed up and didn't know which was which. So I emailed muntons to ask which was which, and I am utterly baffled...

    Plastic or glass bottles

    I tried this a while ago with mixed results, I felt the prongs created too much restriction in the neck of the bottles, and although most bottles seemed to get cleaned well, there was some where where the crud on the bottom of the bottle had not been removed (may be poor alignment with the spray...

    Plastic or glass bottles

    how do you get them to stand upside down ? I often stick 2 or 3 in but it always seems a bit precarious (makes a good job of cleaning them though)

    Narrower bottles?!

    I have just had a measure of various 500ml bottles from my very random collection of bought beer bottles - they seem to vary between 69 and 74mm I have some old milk crates that easily take the width of the bottles (80mm sq compartments) , but they don't take the height, which means they are...

    Bashed Tins

    so this is a damaged seem and would be an absolute fail ?

    Bashed Tins

    the seam on the side of the can is undamaged on both cans - but does where the top and bottom of the can join onto the sides constitute as a seam, as per the image this is clearly very damaged.

    Bashed Tins

    That is something that I am doing (not had a response yet) But I am curious as to what others on here think - consider it as independent advice.

    Bashed Tins

    Would these be OK - postie carefully delivered them today My worry would be the tin coating is split on the inside exposing the mild steel and contaminating the contents - it would be a shame to put in 5 weeks fermenting / bottling / storing to then find out they are duff.

    Any programmers here?

    Has munroing went out of popularity or do people just not register now ? from your chart it seemed to be at its height when I completed back in 2007 I can't remember doing so but I must have contributed to that site - there is a picture of me and my little story - I looked a lot young - lol

    Understanding Carbonation and ABV

    degas it first by shaking all the bubbles out of what I'm going to test (until it's completely flat) then do a reading - then drink it

    Understanding Carbonation and ABV

    I know it seems a bit obvious, but i'm not a 100% sure on this. The carbonation and small fall in gravity within the bottle - does this add to the alcohol content ? or has the yeast finnished and the alcohol level will remain as it was before bottling ?
