We've had some nasty temps here of late and I've brewed a lager, which needs to be between 13 and 24c. We had nine days straight with temps over 32c so I had to keep it cool. This is my method below. I have, as mentioned by previous posters, used frozen water bottles too. I rotate...two in the...

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. What a superb drop.

It's a tough gig.

It's 36c in Melbourne today. I think that's 96 or 97f. I have to brew today so I can bottle before we go away in April.

My first. A lovely drop. Must brew this at some stage.

Long Line of Cars - Cake

I've opened a few bottles now, for testing purposes only of course, and it has carbed up a lot more. Infact it's a bloody lovely drop!! Those last few days with raised temp then a couple of days refrigeration have finished it off really well. So in the future I'm going to prime my whole batch...

Glad you enjoyed our lovely part of the world gtskinner. If Western Australia were made an indepent country it would be the 12th largest in the world...it's that big. Redback is a wheat beer from Melbourne. Yes they still have it and yeah man...great drop. Honoury Aussie I say 👍

Classic. I'm good. Got a Dan's pretty close to us. I'll have a crack at one of those ales you suggested too.

I'm in Mornington mate. 'Bout 70k south of Melbourne. Safe travels and enjoy the festival. Gunna be a nice weekend.

No specific Aussie threads mate. Plenty of good people and some seriously good advice and help though. Welcome buddy.

I'm in Melbourne.

You know that's why a place like this is awesome. I was doing what I was told to do at the brew shop so I assumed it was right. It never occurrd to me to prime the whole brew. But now I think I will. Great idea. Oh and the beer looks a bit hazy because of the frosted glass, although I'm sure...

Thanks for the help and advice guys. I was a bit nervous about losing it all but I feel a whole world better now. Had a second bottle this afternoon and it wasn't as bad either. Good times ahead!

I used carbonation drops so each bottle got the right amount. Was told not to bother stirring them because they would dissolve. I think they were more in the 18-20c or 64-68f range so it looks like that was the cause. I've put a heater in the brewery to up it by a couple of degrees and will give...

That's a good point, might not be warm enough for them. Is it too late to up the temp?

Well...when I say no fizz I mean very little, almost none.

I've just opened a lager bottled two and a half weeks ago and it has no fizz!! The colour is nice and clear and the taste is fine. Will it carbonate more over time or is it done?
