Good work Colin - now sit back and relax :thumb:
Cheers, any idea how long its likley to take to ferment? - only done kits so far (obviousley...) & generally leave the kits in for 2 weeks?

Two weeks is always advisable, try not to lift the lid too often (if you can resist, I can't and tend to look daily which is a bit stupid when you think about it!)
Your up early :)
If its staying there for 2 weeks it will stay sealed - my other brews have other than taking samples :)

Well done, I'm really too impulsive and inpatient to be a brewer and I don't sleep great either! Truth is I'm up early so I can get out on my bike before work, Bradley Wiggins you have nothing to fear!

...it gets to us all at one time or another :lol:
Have had about 9 hours since Sunday 
With any luck my boss will feel sorry for me when I keep making mistakes and send me home, I wouldnt even care about being paid if I am honest!
Anyway back to the beer, had a quick look this morning (really must get clear FV's) and it looked like there is some form ov layer at the bottom ov the FV and at the top and still bubbling away merily to its self :)

Just what I wanted to here :)
Really looking forward to tasting it & hopefully a batch staying in the bottles longer than 2-3 weeks...
Opened the lid for the first time this eve, its gone down to 1.008, lower than the 1.011 that brewmate said it would go down to?
Will check it again tomorrow but it looks like I will be bottling it tomorrow evening :)

Good work
the beer is amazingly clear, looking forward to getting it in bottles tonight :)
it should be safe until the 16th sept before it gets tasted as I am away :)
Going to look into saving the yeast from this batch for use when I get back from holiday to get another brew on, dont think I will have time before then

Gah! - just realised that I dont have a bottling bucket (its my 2nd FV which currently has wine in it...
Will I be OK to fill bottles directly from the FV and put the sugar in the bottles? - also, how much sugar would you guys reccomend for this beer?

Should get on the bottling later after some family time :)
And its bottled :)
Finished at 1.008, I believe that works out to be about 4.5%
Lost about 2l to the FV, this is far more that I am used to loosing? is that normal? - for a pic of the bottom of the FV that I will post later when I can find the cable for my camera :)
