Don't shake, that will only cause oxygenation which is BAD..........

I put half my dry hop in 3 days after fermentation starts and the other half 3 days before bottling, seems to work well...........

I've brewed a couple of hoppy beers using the HAZE yeast, when bottling the beer has been lovely and hazy but i'll admit that it does clear after a while which is a bit of a shame really. Both beers have been very tasty though and I do find that if I pour in the whole bottle, sediment and all...

Agree, Morrisons are terrible right now, nothing can touch Tescos really.......

Oooohh, i've been to North Carolina :) Welcome............athumb..

I bought one from Amazon about 6 weeks ago, a few quid more, and built my fridge which works brilliantly, so easy to do, wish i'd done it earlier.......recommended :)

For me 0 minutes means turn off the heat and cool to less than 80c (higher than that will give you added bitterness), chuck the hops in and leave for about 30 minutes. After that cool down to about 21c, strain out the hop debris and add to your fermenter and you're ready to add your yeast.

MJ yeast is Mangrove Jacks yeast, the one that came with your kit, more than likely M44 yeast. Usually takes 24-48 hours to get going but once it starts you'll certainly know it.

Star San certainly difficult to find now, Malt Miller has this one if you're after the real thing : https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/star-san-4oz/

Right, it's decided then, i'll stick with the yeast that's with the kit........M44 it is :) Cheers folk. acheers.

I'm making the Mangrove Jacks Juicy IPA on Wednesday but i've heard that the yeast supplied, M44, isn't everybody's favourite one so i'm contemplating swapping it for either US05, Crossmyloof 'Haze' or Lallemand New England Ale Yeast. Any thoughts which way I should go would be...

I assume you've used M44 yeast in the Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA, this yeast is always slow to get going, give it another day or two and hopefully you'll see the all important air bubbles athumb..

3.94%.............use this site :) https://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/

Grrrr, yes, quite true :(

Yep, looks good prog99, i'm dry hopping mine at the end of the week and bottling early next week, hope it looks as good as yours athumb..

Back to the 'haze' yeast...............when using this one do you still cold crash or not bother because you obviously want the haze effect in the bottle ??

Once again count me in please, as always i'm convinced i'm going to win this time...................ashock1

Oh, go on then, if you insist :)

1.070 down to 1.010 gives an ABV of 7.88% if my calculations are correct.......(not always a given though) lol

Excellent, keep us informed of the progress athumb..
