So bottled yesterday with half a teaspoonof suger per 500ml bottle. FG was 1022 giving an abv of 3.94% which I'm fine with, good session beer. Came out pretty clear and smooth so fingers crossed. Gonna sit in the spare room for two weeks, then the shed for anther two before I crack one open.

I chilled the wort to 20 then pitched and tge next morning the temp of the wort was 24 but this evening its down to 20 again. The airlock was going crazy tge first 36 hours but now is almost non-existent. I'll take a gravity reading tomorrow but regardless I'll be leaving it for two weeks in the...

Thanks mate, will do. That makes sense about the temps so hopefully this works. Hate throwing beer away

So I did a BIAB lager months ago and everything went well. After two weeks in a cupboard in the house to Carb up, I moved the bottles to the shed in around mid February. Left them for a few weeks and the bottles had cleared but it felt like the bottles had gotten softer (pet bottles) they were...

6 hours after pitching, and the airlock is going bananas. Off like a rocket

Brilliant, thanks for the advice mate. OG came out 1058 but I had a problem. The pump got blocked so I only got 15 litres out rather than 20. Pitched the rehydrate yeast anyway. Fingers crossed now

Saaz was 3.2 % and citra was 12.8%

Too late I'm afraid, I've just finished cleaning up. Do you think it will turn out too sweet maybe without the bitterness? Hopefully it has a light ish lager feel to it. I've never used this yeast before, actually forgot it was there, hence the mix and match job with grain and hops

Yeah, that's everything I had left

Had the grain, as the title suggests, let's just wait and see. 4 kilos pale malt 700 grams wheat malt 200 grams munich malt 100 grams carapils 40 grams saaz at 60 mins 10 grams saaz at 10 mins 13 grams citra at 0 1 protocol tablet 1 sachet mangrove jacks californina lager yeast Mashed at 65...

I'll maybe bring them inside, it's just a wooden shed, nothing fancy so I'll play it safe

Hi guys, so it's meant to get down to -2 tonight, what does that mean for keeping beer in the shed ? Shiuld I bring them in or just leave them outside. It's bottles of 5% and 6% APA Cheers

Its cascade pale ale from greg Hughes book and I used s-04. That's sound then, I'll proceed as planned

Hi guys, I've got my fermentation bucket on a thermostat controlled heat pad for the first time so I can raise the temperature I'm 3 days away from bottling as that will be the two week mark, and I'm wondering if I should raise the temp for those last 3 days ? Do people do this or have I picked...

I have a Brewster beacon and have done 4 brews on it so far. I'm very happy with it. The tempreture for mashing seems to hold steady with the pump for circulating. There is a water level gauge on the outside which is handy. Seems powerful enough and raises tempreture quickly. There is a filter...

Started with a kit for xmas about 10 years age and swiftly moved onto BIAB. Results were mixed to say the least and I stopped about 5 years ago, restarted in january when I bought a brewster beacon.
