I guys were I live it is cold and I struggle to hit correct temperatures as in my house it's roughly 15 degrees Celsius and outside gets to minus 5 at the min was wondering what will ferment at that cold if anything thanks for the answers in advance

I topped it up to 5 uk gallons it's more frothy and foamy now but I ain't removed the lid to look I can see the yellow-ness thru the lid

Ok thankyou much appreciated I hope it does well :)

Forgot to put pic in lol

Ok guys here's a pic of what it's doing so far this is after about 42 hours can any1 shed any light wether this looks normal? Thanks

Ah yes I see you have a air lock though I don't plus how long untill I should see this sort of foam/scum because it's been 24 hours and all I see on the lid is like condensation my room I'm keeping it is approx 19-21 degrees celsius and can occasionally drop to 16-19 but not for that long?

Oh right thanks

What?!? And so what if I am I just want advice from different people as I'm new and not sure wht works beat for me, I'm sorry didn't realise you were the gaffa an I'm not aloud!

Ah ok so once it's bottled an been left sitting at room temp in bottles for a week or two you cold crash by putting in fridge?

Ah right so keep it closed? But can the air get out still? And mine is a coopers English bitter+600g of dme and 500g of brewing suger it's been 24 hours now and the lid and side of the bucket doesn't look any different how do I know if fermentation has started or is working? I don't want to lift...

I guys just wondering what cold crashing is and what it does and why we do it? Thanks

Thanks for the help I still don't know weather mine will be ok as I don't understand some of the things posted as I have just started brewing

I mean the equipment everything from scratch I have my own but he's after advice he wants fermenter bucket pressure barrel the works with bottles I think and thanks for the help

I want to buy a starter kit and was wondering which ones are good and easy for beginners? Thanks in advance

Ok thanks for the help I will close lid after 5 days and hope for best what about the hydrometer reading? That sound ok?

Hydrometer is fine and it was a 1.7kg can of coopers English bitter and then 500g of sugar and 500g of dme an then topped it upto 5 gallon

This is what it is in and the lid sort of clips on I have only clipped it half way to let it breath as I don't have a air lock (sorry bwt rubbish photo)

I added approx 1.3 gallon of hot just after the can of malt extract and then stirred and topped it upto 5 gallon in total after I had added sugar and dme this is the first time I have brewed hope it's ok
