Thanks for that.

I am just looking through my records and have just noticed that the brews with a higher start temp seem to have a slighlty higher SG.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing, done any testing on that? Or is it just coincedence.

I think that the better of Coles/Wollies is the Farmland brand. You need to remember one thing though. A lot of people will tell you a lot ofthings to do, however, you have to drink it. So try it, brew what you like, for yourself. I am just finishing Farmland Lager, (from Coles) brewed with a tin of ...

A little while ago, I asked a question (on here) about what to use for sugaring. After all that discussion, I have experimented and found that; ultimately as suggested (on this forum), Malt extract is best. I have tried honey in one but it's not ready yet. Anyway, I just wanted to inform you all ...

I have some more questions.
Are you doubtful about the taste before, or after bottling?
Your bottles could be crap?
My wife has asked where are you, as in, what is the water quality like to start with?
Also you need to remember that Home brew is far different to commercial beer.
If you go to the pub ...

Hmmmm!!!

That might work as she "doesn't like the bitter taste".

I am not an overly experienced brewer, only about 15-18 brews.
I don't wash my bottles, just a rinse instantly when finished drinking.
Don't sterelize my fermenter, only rinse it straight away with cold water, wipe with a clean cloth, then rinse with hot water from the tap.
Don't use an airlock ...

Has any one had the major problem that I am now experiencing?
I brewed Cascade Chocolate Mahogany Porter with Brewmaster no 20 enhancer.
Mothers Milk.
The problem is......................
The bloody wife has taken a liken to it.

What do I do?

Nobody has mentioned about the yeast in the question, so it appears it must have been a bit cold.

Thanks

I know what the yeast does in beer, but what diffences do different yeasts make? Do they affect flavour.

I ONCE READ IN A GRASS ROOTS MAG HOW TO MAKE SCRUMPY.
JUST TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, I FOUND THE BEST APPLE JUICE TO USE IS P&N. THEY DON'T USE ANY PRESERVATIVES ETC, AND I THINK ITS ALL OZ.

I use the measure thingy. It is two sided. Large for 750 mil bottles n small end for stubbies. I used the large side for 750's.

Beer n Lemon Chicken sounds good, have to try that one.
Thing is we love the slow cooker.

I primed them with sugar.
But I will try to restir them up and warm them.
Thanks.

Can anybody tell if it my flat beer was caused by the yeat, or waiting too long to bottle, or both. Cascade uses a slow acting Bohemian Yeast.
I had a Cascade can in, that was still bubbling when I bottled it after 15 days. There were not a lot of bubbles coming through the ailock, but still some ...

Thanks all for the great tips.

I will have to look up what amarillo is though.
