    Maybe it's just like that. Also had some discussions regarding good priming calculators

    Beer still tastes a bit soapy. Probably not much left to do but bottle and hope for the best now I guess?

    Forgot Gravity Reading before priming sugar

    Just reading the above. I've often been anxious about bottle bombs. However my in laws kindly brought over two crates of empty Jupiler bottles. Are these likely to have a higher pressure threshold than perhaps some less carbonated ale bottles? Sorry to jump on the thread

    Lots more bubble activity after dry hopping than prior to. Reaction to the hops? Having the lid off too long?

    Seems to be a lot of love for chinook online as a dry hop (from my three at least) think I'll try dropping some of them in.

    Fantastic. Will have a look around see what people say about dry hopping varieties. Thanks again all!!

    Just looked up dry hopping. Would this be effective in the final few days of primary. I'm going straight to bottle from this. Is there any disadvantage to leaving the dry hopping hops in the primary for a week (which would mean my beer was in the primary for 4 days longer than first planned?)...

    Great advice. I'm lacking hop flavour. I used a blend of 3 hops but feel they may have lost their flavour since batch 1 through poor storage. Not so keen on a strong malty flavour so fine with that, (although that was more batch 1) What would dry hopping mean? Is this something for batch 3 or...

    Oh and carbonation was very hit and miss last time. I have 330ml bottles and I added a sugar water solution to the bucket before bottling previously. Lots of almost flat beers. Any more tips on this?

    Brew number 2

    So here we go. After brew one turned out to be more of a Belgian Trappist than an ipa. Still drinkable but certainly only 1-2 at a time, I'm on batch 2. IPA, OG 1.045 (remembered to take one this time). Just took a reading and its 1.010. This sounds about ready to bottle to me, but the recipe...

    Final gravity

    So I popped a bottle open today. Somewhat more like a Belgian Trappist than the hoppy IPA I was going for but certainly drinkable when chilled. Will see how it matures over the next few weeks

    First brew errors

    Bottled yesterday. Looked a bit cloudy in the bottles, moreso than the sample I took. Will wait another couple of weeks before springing one open.

    Sounds good. Here's hoping for no bottle bombs. Covered in blankets and towels just incase. Cheers for all advice all

    Bottled. And now the waiting game continues... How long in the bottles do you reckon?

    Final gravity

    So Gravity on Sunday pm was 1.012, gravity Tuesday pm, 1.012. Do you think it's time to bottle?

    Peterj. This is great. Looking forward to getting another reading in a couple of days. Thanks for all your help!
