Cheers for the advice.

Excellent, goodman cheers. I have ordered a brew siphon wand so just waiting for it to arrive and I will get it bottled this week. Thanks all for your help and advise.

Good man! Someone did advise doing a brew calc in another response. I will give it a go.

Yes, the 1.020 was taken from a sample after mash but before boil. I didn't take a reading after boil

67oC, I used an analogue thermometer with a 5 inch spike that was constantly in the mash. My stove ring set low was able to keep the 67oC temp constant. I did calibrate the thermometer in boiling water before starting the brew.

PS I am using a mash bag for the grains.

Before I put it on the heat for the boil, I siphoned off some and let it cool before measuring whilst the rest boiled.

Cheers everyone for your responses. I used a hydrometer not a refractometer. I will check the gravity of my water too. I think it was the mash that went or boil that went wrong, I used an ice bath with running cold water to cool the wart in the large pot I used for the mash and boil. It took...

Apologies, here's the pic pic

Hi All, cheers for the responses. I thought the OG was low myself. I have attached a pic of the recipe (ignore my sons scribbles). This recipe was for a larger brew but the shop I got it from told me to divide the ingredients by 5. Disappointing, I must be doing something wrong in the mash and...

Hi All, I started an all grain brew about 4 weeks ago. It is a 1 gallon brew with an OG of 1.020 and the first week of fermentation went well. However it seems to have stopped fermenting the SG has been at 1.002 for the last 2 weeks. The brew guide I followed did not specify a FG but I assume...

Excellent, cheers for the advice..

Hi all, I just made a Serria Nevada clone brew. The brew was originally for 5 gallons but I reduced the quantities to a 1 gallon brew. However at the end of the boil I appear to have about 1 litre less than a gallon. I was thinking of adding 1 litre of boiled and cooled water to the brew as it...

Hey, Back again. Beer was still flat after leaving at room temperature for a few weeks. I checked the SG of the larger and it is 1.009, is there any point in adding more sugar or yeast to try and get some fizz? Thanks, Austin.

Hey, Back again. Just checked a bottle of beer and it is abit fizzier, I checked the gravity of the beer and it was 1.010. It tastes quit sweet at the minute, I am hoping the longer I leave it the less sweet and fizzier it will get. Thanks, Austin.

Thanks for the help, I will give it a go. Have you ever used a Corny Keg before? Tempted to buy one.

Hi, I am a rookie homebrewier and hence think I have made a rookie mistake with my first brew. I made a larger using the young's brewing kit. The initially brewing stages went well fermentation etc. But when I bottled the brew I put it outside to mature (think this was a mistake). Its been in...
