I just wanted to put up a warning to others here about a recent poor sales experience when buying sodium percarbonate on t’interweb. I found a website called Ellcon (maybe there was a clue in the name!). 2kg of SP for just over £6 plus £3 delivery. ETA was 3-5 days. Ordered on a Monday thinking...

I started one of these on Monday and posted about the temp for this yeast. The instructions do say 20-25deg but as close to 20 as poss. I raised the query as to anyone knew what type of yeast it was, but havent had a response. I think its a type of californian lager yeast which tolerates a much...

Id probably have another 3 to make sure!!! 👍

Rofl! I didnt water mine down either! Neck and neck! 🤣 Maybe we just agree more sugar = more likely to get you pished and call it a draw! 😂😂😂

Of old underpants and cabbage?! 😂

Good advice, but what method did you use to calculate the final ABV, John? Did you estimate the gravity points based on weight of sugar, added to OG? Did you use Lisa’s method as described above or some other black magic not yet described?

Oh its on now Lisa! 😜 I wonder who will come out victorious in the great ABV calculating methodology debate?! Genuinely interested to find out if they give similar/the same answer!

1kg of sugar should add 0.018 gravity points to your OG (assuming 100% fermentable). Therefore OG+0.018 = 1.11 At new FG that equals 14.4% Been there and had the head scratching myself! This seemed to be the most correct answer I could come up with and was ratified by others on here. Hope...

I ferment in my study and the smell is noticeable whilst the airlock is chugging, but subsides considerably after that

Started the above kit tonight and a lager yeast is included, with the instructions suggesting fermentation at 20-25deg but as close to 20 as possible. Does anybody know what type of yeast is included, and whether I may be better off fermenting cooler as per typical lager yeasts? OG 1.056 (I...

You beat me to it! A lot of the guys in my local drink it- wet, cold and fizzy. Nothing else about it is good, I dont get it! Op- sorry, nothing constructive to say other than good luck and its nice of you to help out your pal!

Apparently I have park assist on both of my cars but have never used it because....*shock horror*..... I can park. Anyone who cant park shouldnt be in charge of a couple of tons of motor. I do like the adaptive cruise control auto pilot which matches the speed of the vehicle in front and steers...

Your gf cant be far from me- the Rebellion beer is pretty good, enjoyed a few of them. Halfway between my house and my brother’s place so was handy!

I’ll be putting another brew on!

Hmm good point. In this particular instance a case of RDWHAHB might help proceedings!

The thick line with ‘1000’ above it is 1.000. Every line underneath is on a scale of 0.002. Therefore 3 thin lines under the thick 1000 line equals 1.006 etc Hope this helps fella

You’re better off leaving it for 30 mins or so and letting the bubbles disappear. You also need to make sure you spin/tap the hydrometer a couple of times to make sure there arent any bubbles affecting the reading. If I had to guess from your pictures, which is tough with the bubbles in the way...

Yes, that experiment is next on my list but will be the end of the week to give them a full two weeks to fully carb in the bottle. Was hoping somebody cleverer than me could set me straight! Is there any way to combat chill haze (apart from the obvious)?
