Howduy Can you please tell me how to read some recepies which come in form like for instance at Fermentis site: http://www.fermentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/TT_Weizen_EN.pdf Recipe refers to grain percentage, but how to understand how much overall grain mass should be for get a...

2 days ago SG was 1.007 and just taken 1.004, and bubbling ongoing :confused: Here is a recipe http://store.coopers.com.au/recipes/index/view/id/58/ and they said FG should be 1.004 - 1.008 Should I shoot the basket? :)

Hi folks, Is it common for Saison to bubbling for so long? I brew it last thursday, used Danstar Belle Saison yeasts and OG was 1.062 I'm quite new to homebrewing, but 3 my previous ale and stout batches finished bubbling after 3-4 days, but this guy seem donwanna stop :)

Thanks, guys! Thicker bottles is a great idea! BTW never had any bottles exploded. Is it really possible if bottles has no cracks? I was under the impression that a cap (speaking about crown caps) must go first.

G'day, Personally I like sparkling very much :) I'm currently have a weizen batch ready to bottle and want to make it fairly fizzy. I'm going to bottle into glass. All the calculators says it could be 3.3 - 4.5 CO2 and gave me about 288g of Table Sugar ( Corn Sugar: 317 g, DME: 424 g)...

As I've got from the expirienced ppl - the secondary is really need mostly only in case you are going to do something special with your beer after primary fermentation done. E.g. add fruits, oaking etc. In other cases secondary is not much needed. Just my 2cents-

Yes, sure, it is almost room temp, 2-3 degrees colder from basement (about 65F). And it is not gets hazed much after chilling down to 40F.

Thats good idea about skip the secondary - much less to wash and sanitize :) Indeed ale turned out a very clean now in the bottles. You can see a sediment at the bottom, but overall to me beer is as clear as it could be "filtered". And yes, I rehydrated them before use.

Thanks for your reply, ScrewyBrewer! The OG was 1,048 and FG was 1,010. Regarding the yeasts I used those stock yeasts that comes with the Coopers kit. Just checked the "packing date" (in case of coopers) and it was June 18th 2014 - should not be too old. Moreover, the fermentation was...

Thank you all guys for the suggestions. Sorry forgot to mention I did refrigerate my bottles for about 1 day before opening. Indeed I have glassware washed in dishwasher with anti-spot, that is the case. Well, I'll move bottles back to the house for next couple of weeks, then sacrifice...

Howduy, I bottled my Coopers Real Ale 2 weeks ago primed with dextrose 5 gramms/liter. Today I opened first bottle to taste and found that carbonation actually is quite low in there. It made a little "fizz-sh" while opening and indeed there are some bubles inside sticking to the beer glass...

How much tea (per galon/liter) have you used for both wort and dry hopping?

It is pretty much centered and vertical, hangs freely and not touching the edges.

Thanks, guys. Everything you said definitely makes sense. Except the CO2 suspicion - I see almost none CO2 bubbles in there, the only on the surface. Is it normal for stout do not have much carbs at this stage?

Hi folks, I tried make Coopers English Stout following exactly their recipe http://store.coopers.com.au/recipes/index/view/id/44/ It is my second batch and this time I've made a little mistake just forgot read OG. Fermentation started after about 12h quite vigorously and took about 2...

A plastic bottle can also be used as a siphon starter ;) http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-syphon-without-getting-anything-in-y/?ALLSTEPS
