My mates got one - he likes it. Seems to work ok.

Congrats on your first AG. Thats it your hooked now!!!

I did one the other day - 15 L of Apple and 5 L of pineapple - turned out ok. Only cos Aldi ran out of Apple juice. :cheers:

Bacon butties and lots of coffee.

I must agree with you - I thought it would be the answer to my problems - I find if you push the valve onto the bottom of your bottle then just back it off a touch you get a faster flow. However by the time your FV is half full there isn't enough "drop" for a faster flow then I revert to my...

Nice one - it's a learning curve for us all. Still its fun trying!!! :cheers: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Sounds to me like its stuck - give it a stir and get it somewhere warm - if it stays at 1030 for a couple of days pitch some more yeast - otherwise you risk it going off.

If its still bubbling I would leave it alone until its been fermenting for about 7-8 days. Then test the SG every day until it stays the same for two days running. It should be easily ready by the 18th.

No worries - the general rule of thumb is a constant hydrometer reading for 3 days. I don't think its stuck - others may know better. It'll be ok for two weeks in the FV - some people leave it in for 4 weeks!!!! As long as the lids on - any bubbles in the airlock?

Nice one MF - now will 3 FV's be too many .....mmmmm?

Great news - a good sign if it all went.

BTW - welcome back to the fold!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I get my kids to pitch the yeast too - course they're not interested in any cleaning jobs!!!

Looks fine but try to resist the temptation to keep checking it - you might let some nasties in!!! I know its difficult!!! :cheers:

I like the look of your cooler setup - top notch. :thumb:

Yes - I'm just starting to drink it. Very nice smooth lager. Lovely body with a good foamy head. Mine didn't clear very well either. A very acceptable Pilsner.

...or get another FV!!!! :party: :party: :party:
