Thanks for the tips. Pitched 28 days ago. My plan was to keg it after the D-rest. Its 40 degrees (100F +) here in China at the moment and I'm having trouble maintaining low temps. Once I have it in kegs, I can put them into a big chest freezer and its much easier to maintain. So I was going to...

Yes, sorry....Gravity hasn't moved for 2 weeks at least. Fermentation was very fast, and it reached target in about 5 days. Now I'm just wondering why its churning up so much. To me, it looked like co2 bubbles were bonding to lumps of yeast and rising up, then falling again. Movement under the...

Hi All, I have a Czech Lager in fermentation. I use a stainless conical fermenter , and the batch size is 300 litres. I am ready to keg it in the next few days, so I went to turn up the temp from 11 to 16 degrees, only to find that it has gone cloudy with suspended yeast again. About 1 week...

Thank you. That's useful information.

Hi, I have a 100 gallon electric brewery set up. It takes time to refine the different processes involved and the only part still causing problems is the hop filtration and cooling speed. Yesterday, the kettle got blocked and it meant that the cooling process took almost 3 hours. My question...

Hi, I know this is ancient old now, but I loved Sassy Red when I came to visit NZ and wondered if this worked out well, and if you had developed the recipe any more? Thanks

Great. Thanks for the confidence. (:

Thanks for the reply. It's still .020 a week after pitching more yeast. Strange it won't go any lower. Mash temp was around 66 or 67c throughout. Is this too high maybe? Beer smith gave me that temp. Anyway I'm stuck with it now. It is a bohemian recipe. Do you have any experience with how it...

Hi All, I have a Pilsener that has been fermenting now for about 3 weeks. It fermented slowly, but steadily down from OG .055 to .020 (possibly 018) but is going no further and has stayed there for 5 or 6 days now. I'm fermenting at 11 degrees, although I raised it up to 16 for a Diacetyl...

Ok. Thanks everyone. I already know a good bunch of things to do different next time. Just wondering how important it is that the seal is exactly airtight. I know air can get in, and just wondered if the beer was likely to go bad before bottling (in 3 days). If so, I'd start bottling now and...

Hi All, I live in China and have put together a pretty good home brewery thanks to everything being so cheap here. We had a custom made brew kettle and conical fermenter made for us, and we are really happy with it. There is one issue though..... We started making a Brown Ale just over 3...
