I used carbonation drops, so i didnt have to stir it. I did move the racking can all the time when it was in the fermenter just to see where the end was by putting it up against the fermenter, i dont think thats a problem really. I turned out just great, no problems at all. Im hoping that...

Alright guys a quick update. Im just about to bottle, ive waited a week (it was easy since we were painting the room where the fermenter was) and ive cleaned the bottles and the caps. Im going to use a siphoning tube instead of the tap so to minimize the cloudiness of the beer from the...

Ok just to make sure. You guys have realized that the instructions say 4-7, but insist on another week?

A coopers lager. Its from a micro brew kit. Homebrew, Coopers homebrew beers and ales. Mix, brew, bottle. You can check out the instructions here, http://www.coopers.com.au/media/files/1451.pdf. Reasons for me to be concerned: It says on page 7 that the FG should be 1008-1010, mine is 1002...

The fermenter has a tap at the bottom, so getting a gravity reading doesnt require sanitation. The instructions say that it should be done in 5-6 days, and since the temperature has been roughly around 24C, i took a reading at day 4 and i will again at day 5. And the instructions also say that...

bump, cmon gang.

nice, good pics

Ok now another progress report, it has been 4 days of fermentation. Here are my final gravity reports, i have yet to check it again tomorrow. The hydrometer reads 1.004 Now, is the wort too cloudy? (The fermenter has a tap at the bottom) It has completely stopped bubbling now, and the two...

Ok a progress report. For the last 24hrs the airlock has been bubbling non-stop. It bubbles every 2 seconds, and at like every 4th bubble it goes twice, like blup-blup real quick. It has foamed a lot and where the yeast was pitched it made like a brown 'goo'. What do you guys think? Is it...

Are you serious? And is my OG ok, it was 1050.

This is the first yeast sachet that i used. Is that code the expiry date?

OMG IT BUBBLED!!! It was a big one too, far out im so relieved. I just hope now i stirred it enough and that adding the extra yeast wont ruin it. Also, my initial gravity was 1050, is this ok? its a lager

The first, 6 hours ago, the 2nd 3 hours ago.

Hello. My airlock doesnt bubble, although the water in it had shifted to the outer bulb, so its building up pressure but it wont bubble!! help!!!! I added two yeast sachets since i have reason to believe that the first was out of date since i got it from a micro-brew kit. thanks!
