If you're like me and start drinking as soon as there are bubbles you'll be good :P

that's a shame I thought I had an emergency run out of yeast neighbour :)

It's not Datchworth water is it? :)

Hey, I do partial mashes as well as I can't heat 5g of water, (doing a partial wit this weekend also with Stevenage water :) ), I'm using a couple of KG of grain into a mash tun, then boil do the boil with the wort from that, 1.5kg of LME into the FV then the boiled wort ontop of that topped of...

After you've done a few bottling days you'll get better at leaving the trub behind, don't be afraid to loose a little beer to keep the trub back your beer will thank you :)

thanks for the replies guys. Mmmbeer I'm definitely going to go AG (i have a friend who works at rubbermaid great source of mash tuns ;P ) the only thing holding me back is my hob won't handle 5g boils, hopefully when i get my range put in my new kitchen the wok burner should be able to handle...

Hi all, I've now got my third brew bubbling away in the FV (first was an extract IPA, then extract Weissbeir, currently fermenting a partial mash american pale). I was working away and found homebrew store so I ran in a brought a new world Saison kit; I didn't want a straight to FV kit but it...

I also only really "broke the seal" on the FV at the end of...

Here's my first ever beer (chinook ipa), still needs a couple of weeks in the fridge but I couldn't resist whacking one in the freezer to try. I was surprised how good it tastes, caramel and fruit (high temp fermentation but i like the taste) Can't wait to start my Weissbeir this Saturday!

they are indeed one 5g one 6g

great stuff thanks for your answers guys

That is a great tip on carbonation thanks mark you legend :)

ahh ok, I have a bucket with tap and bottle wand for bottling; I was thinking 2 weeks in the Carboy then dryhop 1oz of Chinook leave for another week then move to the bottling bucket with Carb sugar the bucket bottle and leave the bottle for 2 weeks before moving to the fridge, does that sound...

Don't forget your kettle :)

Thanks for the response Mark the kit came with an auto siphon, so you'd recommend the secondary carboy for dry hopping? I was getting itchy feet and start a Whit in the other carboy ;P

still in ferment 6 days in, was great fun brewing (though i drank a bit too much in the excitement) ;P
