Ok so I raised the temp a bit, and it still appears to be very cloudy with some particles. It seems like its at FG, but very cloudy, tastes fine though, any ideas?

Hey All, Just got a few questions, Ive been fermenting a Mexican Cervesa at 14-18c for 2 weeks, and checked it for the first time today, it tastes fine a little week but nothing bad, however the look is a bit weird for 2 weeks. The Beer is still very very cloudy, and there seem to be a lot...

Took a few photo's this morning, well here it is. My $40 Swamp Cooler with one of the kids old sleeping bags, I was using 3 Ice Bottles and 1 Ice Divider, but had to remove some as on the 31c day that just past, the brew was at 12-14c. So now its nicely around 16c, The Cooler can hold 2...

Hi All Well this is the first time im using a Swamp Cooler for a brew and this one is sitting at 14 degrees celcius, just wondering if this is to low, Im using trial and error to get it going, and the air lock appears to be bubbling. I am working on a good ice combo, to get it to around...

Cheers for that, Nice to see pictures Im just concerned about the spout as its plugs in rather that screws or clips etc, I know it doesnt leak out but concerned about it leaking in. Maybe a large plastic bag to cover the bottom half of the vessel

Hi all, Been reading the forums for a while and thought I would join, I have completed 3 brews so far, however they are sitting a little warm in the Australian climate. The fermentation usually always sits at 24c, sometimes creeps to 26c, So I want to create a cheap cooler setup. I thought...
