ok thanks i will see what happens this time

Sorry what i should have said was once the lager has been in the secondary for 1 month then transfer it once again into another clean bin and add the priming sugar then bottle it. I assume by leaving it this long in secondary it will help with the amount of trub/yeast in the finished lager...

ok so after say 1 month in secondary i then add the sugar before i bottle right ?

I thought that had it stopped fermenting in the primary by putting it then in the secondary for a week might be to long ? if you leave it in secondary for longer what will you gain from this extra time duration,will there be no yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle when i go to drink it.thanks

Hi i am going away for 1 week september 5th & will be home setptember 12th. I would like to make some lager before i go and transfer it from the primary into the seconday and leave it in the secondary whilst i am away for a week. If i transfer to the secondary the night before i go will it...

Took a reading this morning and was 1.010 i will check over the next few days and track its progress if i then think it is time to move to secondary i will do so. Working on the 1,2,3 brewing method why would you leave it in the seconday bin for 2 weeks ? will the small amount of yeast present...

no rinse sanitizer ? Do you just pop a drop in the bottle and give it a little swirl around then empty the bottle. I mean if you do get all the sanitizer out when you go to fill it with beer will there be a foul taste ? Or have i got this wrong.

Ok the reasons i asked apart from the label being damaged was that i made this beer a few months ago and it came out perfect apart from a small head.No yeast in the bottom of the bottle when i was pouring.I was trying to remember how long i left it in the primary before i moved it to secondary...

Ok thanks i will continue with the white powder.

A friend of mine runs a local club and has offered me some of the cleaner they use to clear the lines & pump heads each night before selling the beer. Can this line cleaner be used to sterilise the bottles/spoons etc as opposed to the Young's Sodium Metabisulphite white powder i currently use...

The og was 1044,i just thought that someone who has made this before will know as it is printed on the back of the label.Just quote me that will be fine..

Please advise what the finished sg gravity will be for the firkin home brew tin shown. The instructions are on the back of the label and where it should tell me there is something on the label so i cant read it. I phoned the shop but they did not know and have no more. If anyone has made this...

I have been looking at my suppliers stock online and he sales crystal malt as mentioned in previous posts here. His title is crystal malt WHOLE 500 gram If i buy this item i have no idea what to do with it. I do not know how much to use & when to add etc etc . I am making 40 pints. If...

If my tin does not have any of this crystal malt in it or not enough of it can i buy it and pop it in just before i bottle it,just a thought ? I assume you make proper beer etc,i mean not out of the tin ?

Ok it might be 1mm in 2 minutes ? I can say much about the brew side of it as i make it from a kit,ie can of syrup and a sachet of yeast,not sure what the ingredients are but either way head dissapears. Sterilise both bins. Brew in Primary bin for about 2 weeks or until gravity around the...

Hi, Each beer or lager i had made does not keep its head very long. I wash the bottles,bins etc in clean tap water then use the steralising powder also. I give everything a real good clean before & after use. I pour 3/4 of a pint onto the side of the glass then stand the glass upright and...

the room i use is 23 degrees c. Please advise on this if you can. I made a bitter say 2 months ago and tried a pint 3 weeks after i botteled it but the head lasted about 3 minutes,i tried another say 3 weeks after that and stil the same.Is there anything i can do so i get a head that stays.

Thanks, Normal situation now to leave in warm room for 14 days ?

I am making a youngs bitter & the instructions are very basic. I checked the gravity at the start and it was 1.040 this was 13 days ago. Instructions say wait until it gets to 1.060 before moving it to secondary. I checked the gravity 3 days ago and it was 1.008 and have just checked it again...

I made some bitter and did all the usual things so not to take any trub / cloudy yeast etc into secondary before putting into bottlles. After one month i decided to have a bottle and see what it was like,there was a very minute amount of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. After an hour etc you...
