Chris, Thanks for your valuable information, i will certainly try this recipe. The instructions seem quite straightforward for a beginner which is excellent. If you have any other recipes in your bible like this i would greatly appriciate if you could send them through. Thanks again guys.

Thanks legume, Sadly i have only brewed this 1 beer which was an easy to use no boil kit. As im a beginner i wouldnt know the first thing about mashing.

Hi, i have completed my first batch of 'gone with the wheat' which was a czech pilsner style lager. I have just tasted a sample after 3 weeks of conditioning and it tastes discusting!!! It has a horrible after taste which ive found unbearable. The ingredients include sorghum extract which...

Hi my brew has been bottled for around a week now, can i put my bottles in the refrigerator to cool now for the remaining weeks or should i just leave them somewhere like the garage where its cool, but not cold?

Did you use your own hops, how did this tirn out? Im up for trying any suggestion. What could i do with the hops instead of using the oil provided? With the oil provided if i remember i had to pour into fermenter immediately.

Hi, what do u mean by hop schedule? Im sorry i put im about to start, what i actually meant was i have started this brew. Now 3 weeks in, fermentation seems quite slow. Im currently on 1012 gravity from 1040. Seems to be sticking at this level now, any suggestions or just bottle? This is...

Hi, im currently brewing my first gone with the wheat branded lager. I have selected czech pilsner. Does anyone have any tips or advise before i start?

Im from london uk. Because i have celiac disease i am wheat/barley intolarent so the lager must be gluten free.

So in future, how can i ensure i start with a high gravity? The kit i use is 'no sugar' just yeast, sorgham extract and bottle flavouring.

I have 500ml

Because im using gone with the wheat i dont need to use sugar. The ingredients use sorgham extract as its gluten free.

Im after 5%. When i bottle i will add 2 carbonation drops will that make a difference?

3.7 wont be enough, i best let the brew continue for now then.

How much alcohol % would i have at 1012?

Hi gameface, yes your correct i have been waiting for the beer to get the the yellow markings. I am happy to wait if need be if it doesnt harm the beer. Il check again tomorrow morning. So if the readings continue to show 1012 then u feel i should bottle?

Ok thanks for advice. It has been fermenting 3 weeks this tuesday. I will leave and see how it gets on.

This is what it looks like at the moment. I have transfered from fermenting bucket to demi john as i thought i was only couple of days away. I dont have to bottle now just dont want it to go 'off' if i leave it. Im new to brewing so maybe im just jumping the gun.

Hi, my first brew is nearly complete but the reading has been stuck on 1012 (the black in pic)for a few days now? Is it ok to bottle? I am brewing a gone with the wheat beer with SG 1040.

Im looking to syphon my brew into another bucket within the next couple of days due to excess sediment. Gravity is currently on 1014. Do i add finings to the fermentation bucket on the bottling bucket once syphoned?

Yes its made from sorgham extract. The yeast is prium dried brewing yeast.
