And yes I have one just down the road from me about 5 mins drive https://www.creativewinemaking.co.uk And another about 15-20 mins drive

Yes it was was pitched last night and I've raised the temp of the brew aswell I'll check in a moment if it's done anything over night ... Fingers crossed lol

Well the kit itself was £13 and the 1 kg of light spraymalt was £6 so £19 in all .. probably around the $22 mark you said but that's including fermentables not just the extract

Would this be ok ?

If I can't get that's would you advise this one as I definitely can get this one

It still smells quite eggy though

Just the one supplied with the kit . Would of got a lager yeast from brewing store if I knew they was brewed at low temps ..I didn't know until I put the lid on ... Running before I could walk lol

As you can see only a slight head on it but beer is reasonably clear In the testing jar

The bin aswell :)

Pic ift gravity reading

Would you suggest a pitch of better lager yeast or just leave another week and see what's happing .. just took a gravity ready and still 1.040 same as og

It was brewing at 13 but weather has dropped and now about 10 after 8 days the gravity hasnt moved and still smells eggy but not as eggy as before

I'm currently brewing (well i think I am ) a Cooper's 86 day pilsner ... Brewing at 12 degrees c .. Now without opening the lid I can't see much of a krasuen on the top . But can see about half an inch of sediment on the bottom . Now I know lager are usually called bottom fermenting beers so...

Started my st peters ale today :)

Cheers :) just new to it all so not accustomed to the usual activity when brewing :) just an inpatient sod lol
