Ferm temp was approx 21 degrees

Is the airing cupboard too hot to put the coopers lager after bottling, I've had it in my bedroom in the box for a week, I've put my thermometer strip on 1 of the bottles and its mainly on 18 degrees... Would it be too hot if I put them in the airing cupboard or would it be ok??

Fingers crossed it will be ok in a few weeks... is it too hot to put them in the airing cupboard??

Tastes a bit wierd to be honest. A bit fruity/ acidy

sseseeseems a little cloudy to me too... and doesn't taste the best to be honest???

Right people, I put a bottle in the fridge this morning, I've just opened one now... DISAPPOINTMENT!! its completely flat, is this normal as its only 1 week?? I put in 1 carbination drop as cooper recommended...

Thanks Dave, do you put the first couple you try in the fridge or just open and drink at room temp??

Right people I know I'm being impatient, but.... I bottled my first ever batch of coopers home brew lager last Thursday. It says leave for at least 2 weeks in the bottles, better still up to 3 months, what's the earliest I can crack one open to see what it tastes like?? I don't want to arrange...

Hi all, I have literally just bottled my first ever cooper home brew lager kit... I have a couple of questions... 1. To get the last 10 or so bottles out I had to tip the 23l fermenting barrel, these last bottles seemed to come through with a lot of the sediment/ bits from the bottom, will these...

The coopers home brew lager kit instructions says to take a Hydrometer reading on day 6 and then to bottle when the reading stays the same for 2 days, I had a reading of 1.016 yesterday and 1.014 today (day 7) what should I be expecting the reading to stabilize at and how long should it take??

I'll keep you all posted how it goes... is it definitely take the collar thing out after 3 days no matter what??

Once again thanks for all the advice guys, nice to know there's someone else starting out with the same kit too :-) so just to digest some things being said, if I take out the kriesler if that's its right name!! Allow the beer to ferment for 7 to 14 days until the readings are stable... then...

Light skunked??!!

thanks for your help... so is the white stuff around the bottom anything to worry about??!!

The coopers instructions says 21 to 27 degrees, its currently at 19/20 ish
