what do you mean by volume? as in how much beer in the fv?

.

extract, brew enhancer, calypso hops that were boiled, tap water thats it been going for 7 days, not sure on the volume.

just did it again with the water, it does float, but just the red spike bit on the hydrometer out of the water (if you've seen the coopers ones)

:( guess i'm just gonna have to give it another week and leave the gravity readings then

when i put it in the beer it floats, and i'm getting 0.987 everytime

when i put it in just water the hydrometer sinks to the bottom and i get no reading

i thought the OG was really low also so maybe the hydrometer is iffy, but having such a low FG made me think that atleast proportionally it was giving me correct info?

coopers DIY, your guess is as good as mine, just using the hydrometer that came with the kit mate

my OG reading was 1.030, took first final gravity reading today and got solid 0.987, i took several readings a just to make sure it was correct. according to volume calc's this is saying the brew is 5.6% by volume, which is substantially higher than what its supposed to be (not that i'm...

Tomorrow will be 7 days after pitching the yeast so i'm going to add my dry hops. What is best used to weigh down the bag? and should i be aiming for it to be heavy enough to sink it to the bottom of the FV? I've seen some people mention marbles which we have a lot of in my house, would it be...

its the coopers mexican cerveza

my mexican cerveza has been fermenting for 4 days at 18 degrees according to the instructions. ive used the kit yeast, is this the right temp to keep it at throughout the ferment or should it be higher to help the yeast? reason i ask is because a google search came up with a brewing manual from...

shall i take the lid off and stir it again? or just leave it and scrap a proper reading?

kit enhancer

its tubbed up now with all the yeast in it, so i'm guessing its too late to reheat it.

the OG was 1.030 also, seems a little low?

i was using a cloth to pick up the extract tin after putting some hot water in just to get the rest out, little did i know there was another cloth wrapped in it and it fell into the brew, quickly fished it out before it was submerged, just my f**king luck. is this beer a goner now? or should i...

was it a home brew? was it someone elses craft beer? something you found in the shop? or on tap at a pub? interested to hear, im personally a lager man so any suggestions you have for me throw them over :)

so cold crashing is a way to clear the beer before bottling by cooling it in the fridge? and settle all the yeast?
