Nothing its all clear!! it tastes good.. just flat.

I know I filled the 22oz'ers first, so I just opened them all and they are all flat. No sediment on the bottum of the bottles.

Yes I put the cane sugar into four cups of boiling water before putting it in the bottum of the bottling bucket.

Yes three weeks in fermentation. There is no sediment in the bottom of the bottles its crystal clear. I used my plastic brew spoon to stir up the entire batch before bottling. They have been sitting in a 70f room temp for just over two weeks now. And the brew has been at least above 65f through...

Also forgot to mention that I drank that sneak peak 8 pack that I made as the rest went into the secondary the day before I bottled the rest, and after 6-7 days of fermenting it was a little overcarbonated but overall absolutely delicious and got me very drunk. So I can assume that my problem...

Okay so I've been dealing with this english bitter for quite a while now, and would love to be drinking one right now. Backstory... I made a five gallon batch of Coopers english bitter ale, and added an extra gallon of water for the heck of it. It called for the can of stuff plus 2.2 lbs of...

okay so I will wait for the LME! Bummer :( although would a dry wheat be all that bad? I'm kind of doing this more to save money, and minus my mistakes the first batch, coopers seems decent and easy. maybe after a couple months or longer I will investigate actually getting a kettle and...

Hello brewers. I purchased a Thomas Coopers Wheat kit last week and was going to get it started five minutes ago, I double checked the instructions and it calls for 500g LDME, and 300g dextrose. I purchased plenty of dextrose this time but had no idea I needed something else. I did some...

I think everybody is right here... My plan of action (see'ing as this whole thing was to save countless dollars each week I spend on beer) is to be safe, throw half the bottles in the coldest part of the fridge (peice of crap...) and while keeping those steady down the hatch re-prime and cap...

Even if it doesn't shut it down, will them hitting the fridge help slow the process so I can get em all down the hatch? My second batch, english bitter ale (although totally different type of beer) had a FG of 1.012, which means if they are similure in that aspect they still have 0.005 more to...

1.017.

No, it wasn't. I cannot be positive of my beggining gravity, because I clearly didn't know how to read the meter. Thinkng back to what I did wrong, I would guess around 1.042 because of the extra cane sugar. Just a guess. I put it into the secondary fermenter tonight, after another reading...

Well I didn't research bottle bombs too much, but as I said I've had three just now, and they are just overcarbonated... by my guess I would still have the super-overcarbonated of it foaming all over before bottle bombing would commence. (just a guess) so if I was to either fridge the brew (it...

Also I am thinking if I re-cap each bottle, it will give the yeast more time to eat the sugar minimizing the sweet flavor and the overcarbonation. It may be false hopes, so thats why I'm asking for opinions. Again.. I cannot believe I mistook Lager for Ale. Yikes!! If anybody asks for any...

I am a beginner. I thought I knew my stuff. I read everything I could find about home brewing, purchased the setup, thought I had it down, read the instructions six times and a few over while actually getting the brew started.. Sounds great.. a rookie rising in the ranks, taking his first steps...

Please forgive me for being most unintelligent. My hydrometer does indeed read 1.017 :drunk: !! I used a kit, a can of coopers malt extract (not sure of the weight of that) two lbs of dextrose sugar and a cup of cane sugar from my cabnit. The recipe called for 2.2 lbs of dextrose but after my...

yep that is my hydrometer reading. Thats why I was stumped? Is it possible that the paper inside the hydrometer has slipped and is in a differen't position than it should be? I sprayed my meter with disinfectact spray that I've been using throughout my process and dropped it straight into the...

I started brewing a batch of Coopers English Bitter ale two weeks ago. This is my second batch, as the first one is still conditioning in bottles. I am a huge fan researching and not posting as there is always answers out there. I've been using this site for a month now through my brewing...
