I left my first brew in the bottles for about a month, then in the fridge for a week, tried the beer and it was beautiful, I have left my beer in the fridge now for about 3-4 weeks, I tried it again last night and it felt as if it has lost carbonation. Is this possible and should I now remove...

So after I bottle it I should put it straight into a fridge for a week then it is ok to drink?

Yer ok, I drank it straight from the bottle

I just opened my first home brew ever, on the bottom of the bottle there was what I was told a "yeast cake", anyway I opened the bottle and all that white stuff started to rise to the top making the beer cloudy, I haven't refrigerated it yet. Is this normal

Sounds good, I've never seen sediment in beers in Australia, I'm a bit of a rookie so was a bit worried

Ok cheers, do you have any tips on how to avoid it in future brews?

Ah ok so will this clear up over time? Just for aesthetic purposes?

So I bottled my beer 4 days ago using carbonation drops, it's my first time and at the bottom of the bottles it is all cloudy, is that normal?

Haha thanks that's a great result, yer toilet brand, get on it, tooheys*

Are yeast cakes normal? Or does it make the brew ruined

I used a canned malt toilets brand and 1kg of dextrose in the brew, there is a layer of stuff at the bottom of my fermenter, is this normal? If not is there anything I can do to save the brew? Thanks

Ok cheers, does this kind of a gravity reading lower the alcohol content?

Fantastic, that's a bit of a relief

Ok, it also has a numerical reading, it read about 1.015, it was stuck for about 2 to 3 days so I bottled it, should it be ok

Ok thanks, the hydrometer I have have has a mark where it says the beer is ready, my last lbrew wasn't quite at that mark but I bottled it anyway, I haven't tasted it yet, will it not being at the "ready" mark should it be ok? And/or will I have exploding bottles?
