Hi, I bottle straight away after mixing the sugar in the second FV. Normally sugar is added directly into the bottles for the secondary fermentation to carbonate the beer; Brewferm want you to add and mix it up in a FV. Different method - same end result. :cheers:

:) I like the sound of brewing lots! Can't wait until this batch is ready though :drink:

:thumb: Thanks for the advice. It tasted ok when i bottled it - I'll just need to be patient.

Fermented for 9 days and as the SG was steady for three days I decided to bottle. Bottles were primed and left in the house for another three days then moved to the Howf (outbuilding maintaining a temp of about 4degrees) for maturation. Still cloudy.

Ment to be a golden ale. I bought it and then found references all over T'Internet slagging it into the ground :? I had a sneaky taste as I was bottling it and it was ok - very hoppy and bitter. Still cloudy tho'.

Probably been done to death, but my Muntons Midas Touch is cloudy. Fermented ok, and bottled cloudy; two weeks later still as cloudy. Is it a case of waiting, or am I stuck with cloudy ale?

Hi, Brewferm is a belgium company - http://www.brewferm.be/en/index.htm I'm currently fermenting Gallia (an amber beer) which smells amazing and have Tarbweiber waiting to go into the fermenting vat after it's ready. Another clue is in the kit instructions - they have obviously been translated...

:thumb: Ok, I'll leave it alone for a few days and keep checking with the hydrometer. One of the reasons for choosing EDME was my Dad used the kits in the 70s; if it was good enough for him etc etc. I hadn't appreciated that the stout was so well thought of. I can see where my next project lies.

Hi Moley, thanks for responding. As you can guess I'm new to this and haven't got used to the jargon yet. The kit is an EDME lager kit - stop laughing it was the cheapest and easiest one I could find :oops: The 'sugary stuff' (bad choice of words) is the contents of the tin mixed with brewing...

Started my very first homebrewed beer (Kit) on Sunday last and things appeared to be progressing well with a reasonable frothy yeast head throughout the week. The OG was 1.04 and I checked again during the week giving 1.03. So far so good. I was reading a homebrew book (dangerous i know) and...
