Jim's Beer Kit

I was wondering about the air thing. It gets transferred from one fementer to another, then into the bottles. If you're not causing frothing when you stir I don't see how air can get in. And if you're not causing froth then there is no air getting in as it's the air that forms the bubbles. Ah well, ...

Well, that’s how I did my first brew, dosed individually. Then I batch primed my second brew stirring it well. I was told, on here I think, that it was a bad idea to stir the sugar solution into the brew as it introduces air? So this time I just let it mix in while filling the fermenter. Gave it a g...

Well, bottled it two days later. 100gms (ish) of sugar boiled for 10 minutes in around 200ml of water. Added to bucket at the start of syphoning. Bottled the same day as racking off and bulk priming. It's been in the warm for nigh on two weeks, it's pretty clear. I opened one and got a faint hiss an...

Didn't do one WA. I followed the kit instructions so I assumed, unless you tweak, then what it states on the box is what the FG should be? I read somewhere not to bottle any beer above 1.006 else bottle bombs are likely? Edit: Had a peek about on here and like you state WA there are plenty stating 1...

Ok.
I haven't got a balloon whisk that long so it will have to be my spoon.
Cheers

Hey all.
New Zealand Brewers Series IPA.
Bubbled for two days. Stopped.
Left for nearly two weeks.
Hydro seems stuck at 1.014 over 3 days.
Supposed to finish at 1.006.
Any advice on how to rescue it?
Some say stir, others say never stir, blah blah.
Cheers.

Rebuked NJ? Nothing of the sort. I was being honest. I have one, yes, one, bottle left!! So having any left after 6 months? Unlikely. I am going to try and resist that one though and try it in a couple of months time. Like you suggested, if I'm going to get into this seriously I need to keep a brew ...

Had the best homebrew beer ever tonight.
A perfect pint of Wherry. Creamy head all the way to the last gulp.
I thought that was it, must be the timing.
Next one, although ok nothing like as good. Booooooooo?
Ah well, I've tried an early Nelson and that tastes good already

Well folk I am down to my last 15, 500ml bottles of Wherry. I've drank it so quickly as I kept forgetting what the last one tasted like. It's been outside in the cold for a fair bit, still 'hazy'? But tastes just fine. Today I bottled my second Woodfords, the Nelson. This time I used mainly all Sol ...

WA, that's who I was referring to.
And yeah, it is my thread so behave or you're barred!!

They said that to William Shakespeare.

WA

That's right WA, and look where he is now!!

And looking at your pic CT, I think I'm a tad behind!!

My Coopers iPA stated DME.
And very nice it was (while it lasted)
Oh, and you're welcome to hijack my thread by the way.

Yes I batch primed.
What I think happened is, I allowed the one in the pic to warm up a bit. I generally like my beer cold from the fridge.
But thinking about it, bitter is never served that cold.

N.J. Coincidentaly I got one on the go today. Nelsons Revenge. You don't drink 40 pints in two weeks? Ahhh, that's where I'm going wrong. I'm a southern hemasphere rugby dance, I already know your address, besides which 250 pints? I'll see that on Google Earth. The pic above is from a 330ml bottle. ...

N.J. 6 months? You're hilarious!! :lol: W.A. It was pretty good for a new brew. I must admit it did taste 'not quite ready', still very drinkable though. Just opened one of the bottles I've got 'conditioning' outside. All them are hazy now. Definitely better than the first. Excellent head on it and ...
