Just to say that after 2 weeks in the fermenter and 2 weeks secondary this beer made to the conditions above is in my opinion EXCELLENT! Cleared today ..pic attached. Thank you all for advice, Will.

Thank you so much...advice followed!

Sorry one or two more Qs - how many hop pellets would you use for a 21 litre brew? And for how long pls? V grateful for help asap!! Much appreciated!

Great! Thank you. How long should I then leave the hops in before siphoning into the barrel for secondary fermentation, do you think? Thank you!

Thanks for asking! I have been a little busy recently but started today in fact! I'll let you know in a week or so. Planning to add hops in on day 5 ...thanks! Until then...

Thank you so much! Much appreciated. I will do as you suggest...Will

Sorry meant Hoppy Copper!

Having tried a cpl of brews now, I thought I'd have a go at this. However my inclination was to use 50/50 brewing sugar/spray malt and maybe to add hop pellets towards the end of primary fermentation. This is as suspect the beer might be a little insipid otherwise. Do you think my approach is...

Thank you for this and sorry for delay in response. Beer still cloudy and started brew on 13th April! Kegged for secondary 10 days later on 23rd as per instructions. So it has now been something like 5 weeks! Do you think I should try putting a cpl of bottles in fridge to see if colder temp...

Thank you - the temp might be the issue. It is between 18/20 - but I am not sure we have anywhere that is cooler. Do you think it might be worth bottling some up and putting it in the fridge to clear, while the rest of it continues, so we can drink some sooner, whilst the other beer continues to...

Thank you! I much appreciate it. It is not bottled but it is in a pressure barrel. I will have to learn the art of patience. By all accounts it should hopefully be rewarded...

Hi there, apologies for adding to this thread. I am a novice and am not v technical - but have a Q about Festival IPA and wondered if anyone could help. I kegged the beer after 10 days after primary fermentation (as per instructions). It looked (and smelt) promising then. The instructions then...
