The krausen is quite persistent with Kolsch, especially Wyeast's. Good sign :thumb:

Good question. The simple answer: Yeast stop fermenting when they get to their alcohol tolerance. It's basically a survival mechanism for ethanol toxicity. It depends on yeast strain as well as yeast health. And assumes you've pitched sufficient yeast into a fermentable wort that can sustain a...

+1 for Solar Project. Genuine bloke whose totally customer focused. I got the 12v (14w) pump for whirl-pooling in a 40L kettle (23L brews). It worked well, but a PITA I thought. Went back to letting things settle by gravity. Should work well for recirculating though.

Yeah... I was a bit flush after selling some of my brewing kit.

What's the plan MM? Semi pro?

Beer is like bread. It's best consumed when it's fresh. Once it's ready it can only diminish over time due to oxidation reactions causing it to go stale. If you're serious about storing for a long time the best thing to do is keep it cool. This slows down the chemical reactions causing the...

OMG! Some kid found my wallet! Well, its contents anyway. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35025814 I just need some witnesses to verify it’s mine, alright chaps? So we need to get our story straight. We were round stevej’s on Friday to sample his latest home brew...

I hope so. The wallet contained about €100,000 made up of €500 and €100 notes. The wallet holds a lot of sentimental value. It was my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, etc., grandfather’s, apparently. :(

It's a brewery that hasn't been used for a long time :mrgreen:

The Austrians are a decent lot (aren't they?) and I’m sure when it’s found it'll be handed in to the police, who will promptly return it the me, the rightful owner :whistle:

:hmm: :nono: I will pay a handsome reward amounting to 10% of the money returned to me, the rightful owner. :twisted:

I went to Vienna for a night out last Friday. Lost my wallet whilst strolling along the Danube. How silly of me :whistle: If anyone finds it please return to me. I will pay a handsome reward. Thanks in advance.

Of course :doh: JapanBrew, you need to get one of these http://www.norcool.co.uk/produkter/kjoleaggregat/ Not cheap, but I've seen them for sale used for very reasonable prices.

We've all been there, mate. It's the last thing wanted after the effort and anticipation. More often than not they get there with some extra time.

Stir it carefully once or twice a day until you notice the gravity moving again. Then leave it for a week. Things just seem to slow right down when it gets stuck at the dreaded 1.020, but it should get there with time.

That might well work for fermentation temps. Keep the door wide open and give it a test run. Does the fridge have a built in fan? If not a PC fan would help mix the air in the room.

Pretty much, yes. Cold crashing can create a little condensation. So anything rated for that really. I use a 50W reptile heat cable. Works a treat.

You should probably call an electrician at this stage.
