Forgot to mention that I recirculate for the entire mash through a rims heat stick. Just bought myself a pid output temp controller hopefully that will control the temps a little better as my other controller was just relay out on/off

It spent quite a while in the right temp range and while I was bottling I turned around and bang its up at like 88c

Thanks for the feedback guys really appreciate it.. I'm sure it will be still drinkable but just a sipper. One or 2 not 5 or 6!!! Lol. Should try to blend it but I'm too lazy. I'll probably just keg it carb it and drink it lol

How detrimental to the final product can these overshoots be? I had a big overshoot when mashing my milk stout last weekend and I'm concerned the final product may turn out too sweet... It was up to like 88c for 5 mins and my concern is that it would have affected the enzymes that convert the...

I have a beer that is full of diacetyl and I'm 98% sure it was caused by my poor wort chilling methods + high pitch temp and not from infection. The yeast is wyeast American 2 1272. I'm wondering if I can wash the yeast and reuse it or would I be better off just getting a new smack pack and...

Didn't filter it.. Novice mistake... Used pellets. And I'm guessing it's not really bad for you it's just it looks cloudy, tastes great though!! It was clear beforehand but it will be right I think!

So I got 500ml of water and 25g of fuggles hops as this is all I had on hand. Boiled it for 30mins and added to keg! This morning I did that and I just tasted it and the sickening sweetness is gone its got a great bitter flavor. It's just very cloudy.. Will it settle out?

Sorry about that rant mate I stand corrected. So what do you guys suggest is the best way to go about a buttering hop addition?

Have you read the thread or what mate? Clearly states that its a kit brother! No Controll over hop additions to the boil as its an extract kit!!!!!

Nah didn't take that as my sg reading mate was just playing round when I took the pic!

I have no control over mash temps so I guess I will just steer clear of the kit in question! Or just try it with straight dextrose as it is fully fermentable???

Probably have to make a hop tea or something then as its an extract kit...

Recipie 2 tins of Thomas coopers selection bitter 2kg of the above brewcraft malt plus booster Coopers kit yeast as I had no other at the time 45l batch Fermented for 3weeks in primary at around 16degC Dry hopped with 25grams of fuggles hops in the keg Carbed at 35psi for 3days then...

Do I need to lay off the malt addition to my coopers kit of is my fg to high causing that sweet ****ty flavor? OG 1040 FG 1012 Left in primary for 3 weeks then kegged and carbed for a week and a bit! Coopers kit yeast was used and I reckon that's the issue I reckon it may have slowed up to early...

The reason I ask is one of my mates is getting into brewing and I just don't want it to work out terrible and turn him off brewing altogether lol Personally I use different yeast like us-05 or Nottingham don't like the coopers kit yeast at all.....

I know it's probably **** yeast! But would you follow the temp directions that come with the kit or lower them to say 12-14 deg C

Hah good thanks for that!!

Can you re use yeast that has come from an infected batch. Might sound a stupid thing to do but I've never re used yeast and I'm wanting to learn!!

You idiot!
