Thanks guys

Yeah i cooled the wort to 20c before pitching the yeast. Hopefully it's the aeration.

Cool. Thats good advice. Thanks

OK i'll keep that in mind next time. Living in Ireland the last thing i'd ever worry about is the temperature being too high!:-) Thanks What is the lowest temp will it ferment at?

I think the yeast is SAFALE US-05 YEAST (11.5G). The guy in the shop recommended i use it. I transfer it into the fermenter at 20c and the weather has been very hot here recently.

Thanks for the reply. I've been Brewing AG intermittently for two years. Not consistently but am only recently having fermenting issues. I'm not sure about my thermometer but I do know that my original gravity on my latest batch is 1.056 which is pretty standard for wort. I can only...
