Thanks very much, have moved to the garage and it is staying at a fairly constant 21. Have been given an old freezer, so will make a temp controlled fermenter for the next batch. By chance, I did exactly both of those things! I think I was just beeing picky as the bits were quite small. Thanks...

I thought I'd better post pictures up of my first brewday, considering how much help I got given on here! It went well-ish, took about 5/6 hours in total, but i did thoroughly enjoy it :) My 3 Tier Setup! Getting the water up to temp, too a while with only one coil. After mashing...

Just an update, I have topped the water up to the correct gravity and pitched the yeast- and it is fermenting perfectly! Out of interest, what is considered the best fermenting temperature? I have just had a look and it is at 29C without any heaters on it! Jake

Excellent, thanks very much. I will ad a bit at a time, check the Temp and Gravity and work it out every few litres! Thanks. Jake

Sorry, should have been clearer. The gravity is currently sitting at 1.040, but temp corrected that figure is 1.056 (at 20c) as the liquid is currently at 60C. Can I add water to reach my 0.038 goal (which temp corrected to 60C would be around 1.020 at 60C, but 1.038 at 20C). Have I got the...

OK, I have just taken a gravirty reading of 1.040 at 60 degrees C, am I correct in saying I can add cold water until the gravirty reading is 1.038 (temp corrected, so about 1.020 at 60degrees)?

Thanks all for your help, not sure on figures though, just had a look at the London Bitter packet and is says OG should be 1.038. I really am very new to this!- sorry to sound thick!

Hi, my name is Jake and I am new to the forum. Have found A LOT of usefult advice on here- what a great forum! Thanks very much BrewStew, for the excellent guides you have made. Have just had a go at doing my 1st All Grain brew, and I thought it was going well, but I have lost 1 gallon of...
