Cheers guys, ive bottled this

Will see how it goes, had a taste last night, tasted very clean

Hi,

I will prob bottle today or tmw, Ive left this in longer as I want the particles that were in there to drop out a bit, and also for the beer to clean itself up a bit.

Was going to wait another week, but since its looking pretty clear and tastes good, il get it going soon

My first brew I ...

Well I think this one may be lost, no sure why, but its been in about 2 weeks now and checked today and this.

Ive just had a look at the brew and will taste a bit later, but even though the beer as been clear and lost the Krausean these bubbles have started 2 appear about 11 days from start of brewing.

Il post photos later, but why would it go from above pic to getting these now

Cant see the image, and chance of linking it?

Cheers

Cheers

I was more worried about the particles, the yeast on the lip and not sure about the smell, maybe its because its an Ale its sweet

Ok,

So i tested the Beer today and also had a taste. A few things.

1. It tastes and smells fine ( a little maybe wine smell), however when I first used the tap there was alot of sediment that came out of the tap in a clunk, after i discarded the first sample I took another to half fill the ...

Not as cheap but Grain and Grape have a temp controller that is already wired. http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=1_30_34&products_id=7369 I have a fridgemate but next time would get one like the tempmate which can switch from heatin to cooling automatically.

I like that idea ...

Im from Guildford, Near Parramatta in NSW.

Im keeping my eye on a few fridges atm, but also looking at other avenues - eg Swamp Cooler. I know I could keep the Spigot clean but would cry if it leaked/seeped in anyway

I dont think I can use a a Water cool option in a bucket either, as the fermementer has a low Spigot on it

Thanks for the reply

Im not the best when it comes to wiring etc, so probably not the fridge mate, and turning the fridge on and off sounds ok, but very hard to get right I imagine.

Hi all,

Ive only brewed 2 brews so far, and the Lager is still aging but after 2 weeks still tastes a tad Yeasty.

However my main problem is brewing sits at 24c, never changes. This is a bit warm and looking for a better way to cool this, and thinking maybe an old bar fridge or fridge to sit my ...

Well the Pale Ale has been on for 4 days, and well it looks different than the Lager after 3 or 4 days, the Lager had alot of yeast activity on the top and checking the Pale Ale today. It seems well, No activity. Had to take the Coppers Collar off so thought I would grab and really quick snap of it ...

The tap is in 2 parts and once connected, it just slides and clicks in at the top.
Sorry don't know any technical terms

Very clean design, that allows me to see perfectly whats going on inside.

So far so good

Well the brew was made last night, Thanks for all the help.

Cannot wait for this one to be done

thanks heaps.
It now makes sense.

Well I picked up some Cascade hops today and some english ale Yeast.

SO Im going with

Australian Pale Ale Can
1KG BE2
24g's Cascade Hops
English Ale Yeast

My question is can I add some Light Malt Extract to the brew aswell, or will that not work unless I use 1:1 ratio of BE2 and Malt to be ...

Hi All,

Im going to put down my second brew today but after some advice, I want to add a few extra things to get this one going.

Im using a
Coopers Australian Pale Can
Coopers Brew Enhancer 2

But I wanted to see if I would get any benefits from adding some hops and how I would go about it. Is ...
