Perfect! Thank you :)

Ah I see now So are we looking at 3kg (or more)?

Hi, I’m just wondering what I’m missing to have this Brewfather recipe estimate a 2.6% ABV. or is this what I’m expecting? Thanks!

...for a bloody good cause, tasty :)

As promised, the secondary fermentation finished on 12th December, I've let it go a bit longer and I bet even longer would improve the taste again. I've found the brew to be fairly light and sweet and, understandably, slightly yeasty. However, like I've said before in this thread, I've already...

I couldn't get to my local Wilko and I have found one downside to them, their delivery packaging is a bit excessive 😂 Love to see it 🙄

Sounds like a smashing idea, one thing I have realised here is that Wilko do a range of beer making equipment, which I would have never have thought haha! Loving the bread, I'm baking a focaccia bread at the moment.

You know what is funny? I am also loking at a sourdough starter haha, I want to make some soughdough foccacia... I disgress Anyway, it seems this brew has taken my full attention, I think you're right, there is not stress involved haha :D

Interesting to hear that you also became obsessed with the fermentation process, I think it gets a point where it's wise to leave it alone, set a rough date on the calendar to check in on it and go from there. It add's unnecessary stress sticking to these times giving in the recipes, I think...

Hear Hear!

We have micro bubbles!! I don't want to get ahead of myself but there are micro bubbles around the top (no krausen but something)!

I was worried about going sub 20*C so I'm with you on that one. I think that this starter kit has taught me a lot, next pay day I shall start a larger project with better equipment and more knowledge :D

I haven't, no, this was a kit so I did not get one with it, I didn't think I'd get so invested but here I am haha, I'm loving it :) I have one on order though, I'm hoping to see if it is close to the recommended reading from the kit.

We did indeed, so that confirms all is well in the temperature department :D I will be looking at the water bath method, thank you :)

I did think this, the water temperature was low at the beginning, I have been making do with putting it in the airing cupboard wrapped up by the boiler, upon checking temps it is looking at 19*-21*C at the moment, I think that is okay. I've also seen mats being used and I've heard they're good...

Okay, smashing stuff, I think this looks like a great investment instead of paying £30-£40 on an immersion heater. Where would you recommend me storing the FV when in the water bath, as my current place for the FV in this thread is the airing cupboard, I don't know if that would be a good idea...

I gotcha, are there any preferences to either an immersion heater or a water bath?

Am I right in assuming that it stays in the fermenter throughout fermentation.

Oh that's brilliant, thank you for your help, if I haven't said so already :) Okay I will look into it.

Yeah, I have a blow of tube still in and lid on. I think I might do, definitely making starters from now on and I might invest in an immersion heater, if that sound like a good idea?
