Sorry about the spelling can't type on these tablets lol

Hi I've been out of brewing for a while now but hoping to get back nto it... The first step is I've just got a Maxi 210 chiller and want to get this working... Initially I'll probably try a keg until I get a brew myself.... So a few questions.. I think I have everything I need except a gas...

Good luck with the brew, hope all is going OK.

Thanks Jim, Yes you showed me them when I had a tour around the Evanvine brewery, when I picked up the demijohns you so kindly donated ( theyve hardly been empty since :drunk: ) I think thats where I've been going wrong then as I racked and waited till it clered before bottling, although the...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but Jim do you bottle as soon as you've racked or leave it a while to clear? I remember your bottles being cloudy when I saw them, so I'm assuming bottle straight away...? Its just im struggling to get any 'fizz' in mt TC, I tend to rack until clear then bottle with...

Looks like i missed this, but as a side bet, the first word typed by the new member.... Hi Hello Help ? :grin:

Hi, As some of you might have seen in chat, I've made a right boo boo..! Was making a wherry and a coopers canadian blonde... I started off with the wherry and decided to add the brewing sugar for the Canadian :oops: didnt quite know what to do so after a post in chat and a phone call to...

Hi TS, I left it for maybe 2 days after fermentation had finished before I kegged it. It's in a boots pressure barrel ( bottom tap ) Is there anything i can do to correct it now its in the barrel? Thanks, Mick.

Hi, I've brewed a Geordies Yorkshire Bitter kit, a few weeks ago, which all went fine, Kegged it left it a week, tried it, tasted OK but was still a little cloudy, so I left it another week tried it, this time it was very cloudy, a lot more so than the first time I tried it, so left it another...

Thanks for the replies, That explains it a little clearer for me now, will give it a try in a couple of weeks and see hows its developing.

Thanks for the replies guys, on the cooper instruct's there is a seperate note for the lager, saying leave in the bottle for at least 12 weeks before consuming....! I'm sure it wont last that long :D anyone know why this is? its the first lager ive done so dont know if its a lager thing or...

Just kegged this, started it 2 weeks ago, maybe it could have been kegged after 10 days but was a little busy during the week so didnt get chance.. I was amazed how clear it was and what i great taste even without conditioning.... Has anyone else done one of these? on the destructions it says...

Is that a can of beer in the 3rd pic ? tut tut AleMan.... Looks like it was a good day :cheers:

Not sure Mick, drained the trail jar before I used it, but like you say all is good got the SG i wanted, just sems strange how I got two such different readings.... will check next time I put a brew on and see if I get the same... Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I've just put a Coopers European Lager on, added the can, added 1kg of brewing sugar topped upto 23 ltrs. mixed thoroughly took a og reading in a trial jar of 1.026, I thought this was too low so put the hydrometer in the fv, got a reading of 1.042 which was much more like what i wanted...

I did think about a garden shredder, neighbours got one, but it will take way to much cleaning I think, will see how it goes though...

Just started the same but 1gallon... one comment, isnt 5 tsp yeast a little much? maybe it's just me.... Good luck.

Ahhhhhhh Just saw the post that its only up and running at the weekend..... Thought I'd had way tooooo much alchohol and imagined it.... :rofl: See you there Friday evening :thumb:
