    Possible Infected batch

    I did a brew last Sunday, just a simple pale and used a pack of Mangrove Jacks M44 yeast. While it was fermenting there was what looked like a white mass suspended in the beer. I presumed this was just proteins etc that had got in and would drop. It has all dropped and SP is now 1010. I dry...

    Very slow fermentation

    Did hydrometer reading its at 1012 to 1011. So is fermenting or close to being done. I'll leave it another day then dry hop for 4-5 days. This is the first time that I've still had a huge fluffy Krausen at this stage it's usually disappeared?

    Very slow fermentation

    The sensor is under kitchen roll under gaffer tape on the side of the bucket, which is then attached to stc-1000. I have raised it up to 19c now so will leave it for few days and do a couple of samples. If it's finished I do a 4 day dry hop and see what it turns out like

    Very slow fermentation

    I don't have a sample jar usually just put hydrometer into bucket. I know it doesn't help but it's 1027 on refractometer. So I believe it's moving. I'll pick a trail jar up from brew shop tomorrow and do a proper reading. Cheers so far

    Grain and Hop Bill

    Might be a daft question.... But if you have a recipe for a brew of 20 liters. If you want to make 10 liters do you just half the amount of grain and hops. Its more the hops i was doubting myself about. Thanks in advance
