Thank you - I appreciate all of the replies - I went ahead and ordered a wort chiller tonight...

I don't have a way to quickly cool the wort, so was planning on doing this recipe with maybe 2-3 gallons boil and then top up with cold water to 5 gallons - would this work? Excuse the newbie question...

I did an Austrian Pale Ale and added extra hops. After the fermentation had died down, I racked to a secondary to lose the hops in the bottom of the fermenter, after a week I then bottled it. it then occurred to me that what I was bottling would have less yeast in it, and therefore it might...

I've brewed a Proper Job clone - it's carbonated beautifully in the bottle - they're really 'tight' and it was starting to clear up nicely. I moved my bottles to a really cold conservatory but after the first 24 hours they've gone cloudy again. Should I leave them where they are, or move them...

Thanks for all the replies - really appreciate - a great community!

I have a Muntons Connoisseur Pilsner which suggests it needs up to 6 days in the fermenter - today is day 5 and it's still going - started at 1.042 and today it's at 1.014 (instructions say it needs to be steady at 1.008). My problem is that on day 7 I go away on holiday for 5 days. I'm hoping...

Hi all - I had a couple of Pinters that I had very mixed results with, but I got interested in brewing when I found a CraigTube video on You tube - and have just finished drinking my first, basic, Coopers lager extract kit. Have since done a Coopers English Ale (which is bottled at the moment...
