Thanks a lot all, much appreciated! I will give them a go, see what comes out and adjust accordingly!

What apples do I have on this tree? And any tips for making cider with them? Cheers!

Did you buy the Bielmeier kettle in the end? I am looking into one myself, also living in Czech Republic, in a flat, so exactly the same predicament as yourself! Cheers Guy

it cleared as i expected, have popped the radiator on down there, warm it up a little and give it some time to clear. thanks

will go take a sample now and leave it at room temp for a bit. see what happens. i will report my findings. cheers for the help.

Beer has been in cold cellar since monday, tastes and smells fine but hasn't cleared yet, could be a chill haze? I have some cheap 'chitosan' finings i could use, but would like to avoid this if poss. Pointers to clear the beer in the keg? cheers!

im still on the fence whether or not to bother with the finings, Im not sure that I will need them. thanks again mate.

thanks for the help. dry hopping tomorrow for a week sounds good, fits my timescale nicely and gives a good week whilst i go away for it to condition. also, i have some chitosan finings, to use or not to use in the secondary? cheers.

Hello all. ok so i started my muntons connoisseurs IPA kit on the 6th, has been in primary since then. last 2 readings (15th and 17th) have shown 1010 from an sg of 1042. If it is still at 1010 tomorrow im thinking i may drop in my dry hops for 6 days, then transfer to keg. Since i am going...

sounds about right, thanks for the help. 2 weeks or so from now was pretty much my timescale. im going to keg it rather than bottle and then leave that a week whilst I go to the czech republic. cheers.

Ok another one for you, how long to leave this in primary and when to begin the dry hop? I was thinking around a week of dry hop? I'm planning on 1oz total of hops, 50/50 citra Amarillo. It went into the primary one week ago today, and I'm planning on taking a hydrometer reading later. Thanks...

that is quite a unique method. thanks for the input. any additions or pointers to mine as well as the dry hopping?

thats great, thanks for the help. I think I will just crack on with the kit using the 1kg enhancer, then dry hop in the primary towards the end of the fermentation, give the final product some body. thanks for the help!
