Anyway to check if carbonation has happened properly?

Should i try to keep the bottles upright in the fridge as well?

Nearing the end of the 2 weeks said to ferment inside the bottles and wondering what happens now - are they ready to go?

So do i put them all in the fridge or leave them as they are and only chill the ones i am ready to drink?

Ok - yeh 2nd fermentation meant that i have bottled it and it is sitting aside in the PET bottles.

I don't think i will have any issues with priming as i used to carbonation drops/lollies - so hopefully they are measured accurately to prevent this..

If i am to encounter exploding bottles, about how far into the 2nd fermentation could i expect this to happen?

I'm using Coopers Lager (microbrewery) , PET bottles.

Just bottled my first coopers lager brew - do i just let it sit in the bottles now for 2 weeks?

Are there any recommended temps to achieve here?

How do i rad the coopers hydrometer correctly?

Is a small section that has a 'beer' range - am i looking to get it close to the green section at 10 ?

I will check the reading soon - will it matter if i leave the brew for another day before testing again?

Hey guys,

Hoping my coopers lager (microbrewery kit) is ready to bottle now - has been fermenting for almost 6 days now and the bubbling in the valve has ceased.

Wondering if its ready to bottle now then??

Also, can i just rinse the provided PET bottles out with cold tap water or do i have to do ...

Hovering at about 24 degrees - can't really get it any cooler than that - have it wrapped in a wet towell but thats as good as its gunna get til i find some sort of housing for it..

Will have a read of that thread now - cheers.

Should i keep filling it up with water or just let it go?

Hi Guys,

Just got a Coopers Microbrewery kit and started my first brew - came with a lager.

After 1 and a half days in the tub, the air valve at the top seems to have pushed all the water out of it and is full of frothy bubbles..

Refilled this with water but seems to just build up pressure inside ...
