Jim's Beer Kit

Try one, mine were ready after a few weeks.

Couldn't wait so tried a sneaky bottle.

Taste great, with a good mouth feel. A little young though. Has a slight bitter taste to it. I'm sure it will get better with age as it's only 6 weeks old.

Go to a motor factors and save the postage.

And the taste?

You can get these from my local HBS homebrewcentergy.com

I used one in a wheat beer but yet to taste it but it was the biggest spew I have ever had.

The best way to check if your beer is carbonating is to bottle some in a plastic PET bottle so you feel if it's getting hard or not. Obviously it's too late for that now. That's a great suggestion, thanks. I'll remember it for next time! I'm sure your beer will be fine though - impatience at this s...

Spew that much isn't normal for me. I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know how it works out.

It's dropped crystal clear though, which is odd.

Tubular greenhouse type heater on a plug-in thermostat is what I use in the coldest weeks.

Wherry is a popular choice.

Thanks, I will do that on my next APA.

Do Citra and Cascade go together?

Yep, my first font was some capped off 3" dairy pipe with a flange tacked on the bottom.

Great, but the hops have died down a bit. Think I will use a hop tea as well next time. Bits it still one of the best I have done.

Don't forget the 1KG of light DME.

I guess it's like any other AC unit, it will have a pressurised refrigerant gas inside. Freon or whatever it's called now.

You will have to get it de gassed.

Or just rehydrate the yeast?
