tgolanos, if the temperature drops too much, the fermentation may stop without being done, right? I have a beer fermentation that started at 74 F and now it is 68 F. The fermentation seems to be stuck at 1.020... I am not sure if the fermentation is done because the FG is still high...

Yesterday, when I got home, I saw that the Airlock's were bubbling! :ban:

Ok. I will wait a few days to take a sample and check if the gravity has decreased. In the worst case scenario, I will have to pitch other yeast and maybe do an yeast starter.

Maybe I didn't explain correctly but the Barley Wine is fermenting at 69 F ( ~21ºC). I told that the other fermentation's that I made were fermented at 80F and even higher... :| In a few hours I will check the fermenter and check if there is some leak.

I think that it should be like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbvbQBi0UKY But it is still and inclinated...

Yes, I understand that. But to check if the Fermenter is totally airtight, I waited a few hours and tried to press gently the top of the fermenter and part of the airlock moved up. So, I would say that it is well sealed, right? Before it started fermentation, the airlock was in his...

Ok... But the fermentation process releases CO2, right? If so, why shouldn't the Airlock bubble? Theses batches were my 4th and 5th batches. All the other 3 batches had a lot of airlock activity. Should I wait a few days to take a sample and measure with the Hydrometer?

Yes, I know the yeast doesn't have eyes :) What I wanted to say is that this kind of airlock may show less activity than the S-shaped... You say that the temperature is too high for this kind of beer? But in the instructions it says: Barley Wine: "Stir and leave to stand until the...

Hi. Yesterday I brew 2 Beer kits: Muntons Barley Wine Coopers IPA and the temperature was 69 F (~21ºC). Yesterday I bought 2 new Duplex Airlock (60L (max) Fermenter Volume ) and since yesterday I cannot see much activity on the Airlocks. I used to use S-Shape Airlocks and after a few...

Tonight I will try to clean it up with cotton. I left the Airlock on the sanitizing solution for the last 2 days... I had a similar problem with the PVC tube that I use to transfer to a secondary bucket before bottling. I used a Bike brake wire with cotton to go through the tube. But the...

No... I don't have a brush that fits the airlock. I will try to get one that fits in the airlock.

I tried to pump some hot water but it didn't remove the mold... It seems that I am gonna buy the 3 piece airlock. It's easier to clean that kind of airlock, right?

A sanitizing solution - chemipro oxi.

But they are not old... they only have a few black spots that I need to clean. I have only made 3 batches with them.

I keep the beer in the fridge for 5-7 days. That should help you maintain the CO2 in the Beer and not in head of the bottle.

fartinmartin, you talked about "transfer bubbles". I have used a secondary bucket to transfer the beer before bottling and the last time I saw a lot of bubble through the plastic tube. This bubbles are alright,right?

Hmm... Is pbw better cleaner than chemipro oxi? I didn't knew pbw but I saw a video and it seems a good choice. Maybe if I pump some hot hot water through the Airlock it can eliminate the residue. I am waiting to clean the airlock to make my first IPA...

Hi. A few days ago, I saw that the 2 S-Shaped Airlocks have a few black spots inside... I tried to put them in a sanitization solution (chemipro oxi) for some hours and after that I tried to wash it with some water (garden hose with some pressure) but it seems hard to clean this spots...

RMS, are you talking about Açores (Azores) or Madeira?

Hi My name is Gil Resende and I started homebrewing a few months ago. I am still learning and still using Beer Kits but I am converted to Homebrew! I started with a Abdji from Brewferm and also made 2 Coopers Stout that are conditioning. Cheers :mug: Gil
