Preaching to the converted.....

Hmmm I've never tried glad-wrap before, maybe I should give it a go with the one I'm going to do on the weekend. The only downside I can think of is you wouldn't get that great bubbling sound when its really going off

Do you need to sterilise the glad-wrap?

[Rysa]

I've never been told to and the last half dozen i've done i didn't sterilise, they've been fine.

[Tipsy]

Well I had to try the gladwrap method.
I've used it on the last 2 brews and it seems to work ok and it is great to see the brew fermenting.
I do think snapping a lid on a pail is quicker and easier though.

DOH ..I use the screw lid fermenters

DOH ..I use the screw lid fermenters

Same here, i found the glad easier than trying to unscrew the lid without disturbing my beer and stirring it all up. I used to screw it on bloody tight to get a good seal which made it harder to open.

Have found in IMHO that Coles cling wrap is better quality than Glad

[Rysa]

It is good stuff that coles brand, just put it across a brew bout 10 mins ago.

[Cortez The Killer]

I've been using glad for ages

Beats cleaning the lid + airlock + o ring

Also I broke my airlock yonks ago

Cheers

The only draw back is the 'bloop' is gone.

[Longrasser]

Yes miss the BLOOP ! ...but there is something to look at

[Chris]

I'm thinking about going glass. Then you can see EVERYTHING that is going on, and you get the bloop.

The Horrors of Gladwrap !!







Not quite sure why that one went beserk, but I'm still going to keep using it.

[Rysa]

Good head!! haven't had one go orf like that yet.
They reckon it's mainly the stouts that give good head!!!!

[lethaldog]

My god that looks like a car wreck with someones brain hangin out

Still hard to believe that its a good thing

[Boonie]

Man, that puppy is sealed.

Why the 2 temp stickers?

I still cannot get over that seal, man that's a awesome pic

He he he Ya can't blame the gladwrap for that one. Though it does lend a touch of visual splendor to this minor dilemna. I hope that you're standing by to apply a fresh coat of cling-film to this baby.

I like to apply two layers in criss-cross fashion just to make sure those edges are really covered. Not that it would have helped in your case.

Fill your bottles before you remove the lid then.

I use the screw style with the 2 piece airlock. When I rack or bottle from one of my fermentors I just cock the lid to the side which lets air back in through the airlock but does not allow things to fall into the brew. Been brewing for 4 years now like this and never had a stirred up trub or infection

[The Carbonator]

Hey LongBody, what kind of yeast are you using? and how much?

Thats incredible.....

[TommyH]

And at what temp???
