Aaaaaand..... RELAX :drink:

Sure will Manse :wink: I'm not sure it's completely finished I'm guessing it's been so quick as the yeast hasn't had much to do. I can't see it going below 1010 which is still acceptable, just gotta bottle it now!!

I use a 50w in a B n Cooo trug, tested all the way round, top to bottom and no temp difference.

Ditto to both Tonys posts, especially the last one :wink:

Just checked after work - 1012 Fantastic aroma.

I wouldn't recommend putting a tap in an FV after my experience, unless you happen to have the correct drill bit. An afternoon drilling sanding smoothing and swearing and leak testing bought me to the conclusion it would have been quicker, easier, stress less just buying a ready made one. Btw...

Well hello :hat: Good choices you've made there.

Hi I use a 50w interpret in a builders trug covered by a towel in the garage, it is a good idea to check temps with a thermometer as my heater is 1 degree out, other than that the set ups spot on.

Titanic 7Cs at lunch, wow what a hop rush :D some great ales on offer, can't wait for Fri lunch!

Petty much the same, rinse the yeast out after pouring but I'm a VWP man. Swill out with VWP solution rinse twice stand to dry, then bottle.

If you added sugar and it's airtight it should be ok.

Thats clear as Wherry!! (jokin) thanks iv got it now and il be giving that a go at the weekend. I'd agree with your theory as iv put a mild on last week and it was a steady 20' on the strip thermometer for two days before I needed to introduce a heat source. I too brew al fresco - these...

Cool. Got all that about except jumping the live bit, but I know a sparky :electric: lol I always try to ferment at 18' so hopefully this will be easier to regulate in the coming months. Thanks for the info :wink: Rob.

Morning LB and welcome to the HBF imp brewing clan :grin: Rob.

...... And most definitely DONT bottle until your readings are steady for 3 days

Sorry I'm still confused! Hydro readings are normally four figures, somewhere around 1.050 ish to start and I think from memory Golden Stag is quoted to finish 1.008. So you can see my confusion, as your numbers are going up not down?

Bang on Col!! :thumb: no Vaseline on the side between seal and barrel tho? Should be fine Horse as long as you added priming sugar, if your stressing give it a little squirt of CO2, it will vent through the PRV if there's an excess.

+1 Its quite difficult to completely ruin a brew without salvation IMO. Conditioning, well as long as you can resist! personally I try to give mine 3 weeks in the fridge before giving in lol I had a bottle of Wherry last week that was 18 months old, not a vast difference from the batch I drank...

Not sure what you mean by air bubbles You'll get some gouging in barrel as you release pressure and fill your bottles, as long as you primed and put the cap on it will carb up in the warm.
