My ferment time was 13 days at around 15 degrees . I appreciate the replys guys thanks im only starting out and need all the help i can get ! Il happily leave it the 12 weeks and maybe get another brew on the go

Hi all ive just done a coppers european lager with 1.5 kg of liquid malt extract my OG was 1.048 and FG was 1.015 it appears to be cloudy enough but is this normal as its so early ? It says leave in bottle for at least 12 weeks so will it clear out ? Thanks

After my first brew was a success im doing another one . I got a 1.7kg tin of coopers european lager from a freind and just wondering what else i need to add and how much ? Also some quick guidlines would be appreciated !

Sg is 1.012, yes one carbonation drop in each bottle is this correct ? Question is am i safe to bottle the rest as the one left overnight didnt blow ?

Ok so my fermentation has stabilized over the past few day so ive added a carbonation drop and bottled 1 beer . I left it overnight and thankfully there were no explosions ! So is it safe at this point to bottle the rest of my batch ?

Cheers for that , I never added sugar, just the two tins as per instruction.

Sounds good to me! Is it bad to leave it in the primary for more than a certain time?

My recipe is muntons golden ale , 2 tins with boiling water straight into my fermenter , at 22 degrees celcius and 23 litres i took a hydrometer reading , 1.040 was my SG , then pitched yeast , left to ferment in dark room with airlock , lots of activity after 12 hours until 4 days later when it...

My reading is 1.014 and has been stuck on this over a few days, im using and extract brewing kit and fermenting in a plastic bucket . Ive left it to ferment at 18 -20 degress celcius

Glad to hear that !! sorry i phrased that wrong i meant to say my fermentation has come to a stop . Although my hydrometer is not in the "bottle" zone ? Is this a common occurance ? It is now day 15 in the fermenting bucket

Hey im brewing for the first time and ive noticed a greyish creamy substance sitting at the bottom of my fermenter ? Is this normal ? Im doing a muntons golden ale and its been in the bucket 15 days and fermentation seems to have stopped although my hydrometer readings are off ?
