Just wondering if I add the finings the day before I keg my beer, should I put the airlock back on with the lid or leave it off.. I've put it back on and the airlocks bubbling again.. Is this normal?

The airlock has just started to bubble.. Looks like I was premature in my worrying.. No where near as much as the other airlock but there is movement!! ;-)

I'm relatively new to homebrewing. Last night (roughly 24 hrs ago) I started two different brews.. Both a fairly similar but only one of them has started to ferment with it's air lock bubbling away and the crust inside the barrel has started to form, while there has been no movement in the...

What is the correct way to gas my kegs?? My beer is always flat.. So frustrating!!

Thanks for that Bill!

Excuse me?

But I keg mine. I haven't used bottles.

Yeah it was like a thin layer of film over the top with little white bubbles on top.. Other brews I've done so far have been fine..

Has anyone ever seen mould on their home brew on the surface in the fermenter? If so what does it look like?

Are the can kits no good?

As I'm new to homebrewing it was a fairly basic brew.. All I did was add the 1kg tin of Aussie blonde, the 500 grams of dextrose and 500 grams of liquid malt.. Then threw in boiling water and mixed it all up.. Then I topped it up to 22 liters and put the yeast on.. It fermented for about ten...

What do you mean by how's your boil? The only thing I boil when starting a brew Is the boiling water to mix up the ingredients in the fermenter!!

That's one of mine.. See what I mean when I say it looks cloudy!

That looks fantastic!!

Well I've kegged my first three brews.. So I syphon the beer straight from the fermenter into the kegs.. They taste ok, (I know they could taste better with some help) but they are really cloudy.. Should they be nice and clear?

I'm only new to homebrewing but for some reason my first few brews haven't been clear.. They've been a bit cloudy, not like a beer you would get at the pub.. Any reason why?

It was just weird.. The thin layer of skin was what threw me.. But the more I think about it the more those white circles looked like mould.. When I kegged it I syphoned it below the surface level to not suck up the crap.. Will it be any good?

Is there a chance that those white and clear bubbles might be mould?!

What's US-05? It looked pretty festy!! I was going to tip it out!! But took a punt and kegged it..

Hi guys this is my first post on this site. I'm new to home brewing. I've just kegged my fourth and fifth brew.. One of the brews though had a film of crap and some clear bubbles on top when I took the fermenter lid off.. All my others to this point have been clear? Any reasons why this might...
