I have moved to a warmer room between 19/20c so hopefully wil carbonate well. :cheers:

Just finished bottling managed to bottle 38 pints out of a 40 pint kit. Thanks for the advise reference priming, I eventually used 90g normal white sugar. I am glad I did a secondary fermentation the brew was crystle clear and tasted very nice, just lacking some carbonation, lets hope I get some...

Hi all, starting the bottle process today. I have had a good look round for information on batch priming and I have found a lot of good advice. Does anyone have any final pointers, particularly on the amount of sugar to use for 5 gallons of cooper English bitter. I used brown sugar in the...

Hi and welcome :cheers:

Hi, all it's been almost a week now and the airlock is still bubbling, granted less than was but do I need to wait for it to stop before the brew is ready and also the fv has been at 24c thought the whole process simply because I am using a sumeragable heater, without it temperature would not...

Well settle down now still bubbling through the airlock. Just had a thought though. When the brew is ready should I Bottle straight from the fv or should I transfer to another bin to clear the beer first. I have seen other discussion which mention clearing the beer but not sure what this means...

Hi and welcome. I am a newbie too, but everybody is very friendly and helpful on the forum. Good luck with the brew. Keep us up to date with your progress. :thumb:

Hi all, current daily update. I cleaned the airlock as to reduce potential fly problem as suggested. The brew is fermenting away nicely now and now with no blow back -so no more froth from the airlock just bubbleing away and pressure also seems to be less too. Still haven't managed to reduce...

Now I have seen your picture I am thinking waht a waste of some potentially good beer. That's a good idea external cooling!! Now I just feel like a dohball, derrr..? :wha:

Just a quick update and a question. Brew seems to be doing well, fermenting well with lost of activity through the airlock and very steady temperature at 24c. Question... There does seem to be a lot of pressure building up as the fv lid does appear to be under a lot of pressure and I have had...

After reading loads of comments about temperature levels it appeared that 30c would only result in a bad beer which gave headaches eat, the ideal being 21-24 with samson bitter brew i was using, was I a little rash then?

Started second brew ever today, first was shaping up to be a disaster, so down thedrain it went. Current brew is a coopers Yorkshire bitter. I think I might have added a little too much water thought 23 litre fv with only one inch spare at the top I forgot how many jugs or water I added, if...

Thanks lads you will be the first to be updated on my progress. Happy brewing and even happier drinking :party:

Thanks, I will, or won't, if you know what I mean. I will keep the lid tightly closed as per your advise and give it a look next Sunday. At what point can I expect to see some fermentation action, that will make me feel better seeing some progress as it were :thumb:

Hi, new to the site and new to brewing. I have already dumped one brew only 36 hours into my brewing career due to high temperature of 30c! So started another this afternoon, a coopers bitter brew - pitched yeast at 30c which the instruction said was ok and now at 26c but I am expecting it to...

Hi all, complete newbie to brewing beer, in fact 36 hours new and already one brew down the drain due to high temperature of 30c. Love my beer and love the idea of brewing my own, lets hope I will be drinking it shortly. :cheers:
