Well it's been fermenting now for 3 and a half weeks and I'm gonna bottle it tomorrow. Almost at the finish line :mug:

Will do, thanks man :mug:

Day 8: Everything seems to be fine, just more of the mold specks have formed over last few days so gotta clean and sanitize the lid in a while. The airlock hasn't been as busy as it used to be and the krausen has been faded. http://i.imgur.com/kr8q1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ESspD.jpg...

I figured I better do something about it so open the lid slightly on the side where the specks of mold were and cleaned 95% of it off with a tissue (there is still about 2 micro specks of mold left and then rubbed some alcohol hand sanitizer on the rim of the fermenter where the mold had grown...

Day 4: Ok so I've just got up and went downstairs to check the fermenter and straight away I noticed that the Krausen has started to subside quite a bit. The temperature has also drop a degree or 2 to about 19 Celcius. http://i.imgur.com/4IWop.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1wNZj.jpg I...

Good luck with it man. I'm also 24 hours into to my first batch. :mug:

This is the video of him tasting the beer he made in the video you posted. :mug:

Thanks for the advice lads, appreciated. I've just seen a 23 litre PET Carboy Fermenter for €29.95 which I'll invest in for my next brew if it's gonna make a nice difference to the end product :mug: EDIT: Is there a difference in taste between using a glass container and a plastic...

Hi all, I ordered the 'BrewSmarter Premium Starter Beer Kit' few weeks back and set it up yesterday evening after sanitizing it with VWP and the wort is currently fermenting. Coopers Original Lager is what I'm brewing. I know people say not to add the sugar that comes with the kits but I hadn't...

That is brilliant :D

Tossie here signing in from Cork in Ireland. Decided today that I'd like to brew my own beer so went ahead and purchased the "BrewSmarter Premium Starter Beer Kit" which should arrive in the next few days. Thought it would be a wise move to join a home brew forum for info, advice and opinions so...
