Yeah nice, will have to look into having a better a better way to control temps.

Cheers kombat, had a taste from my hydro reading, not too bad, hopefully it will be drinkable. fingers crossed.

So took a hydro reading, it currently at 1005, the condensation on the lid.has stoped and almost no bubbles on the beer, has fermentation.completed in three days or has fermt stopped??

Thx guys will update in a few weeks, fingers crossed

Ok so shall I just abort this and bin 10 gal of beer, or is there a chance.that the off flavours won't ruin the beers??

Wow stout is really fermenting hard, the beer is coming out the airlock.damm, I hope the beers come through without top much off flavours. How soon soon did I try the pilsner.

Thanks guys, problem is with this heat I'm strugling to get it below 26.5 in this heat.

Today was a real scortcher, made to 5gal batches of Coopers Stout and Wilkinsons Pilsner. Problem is that in both cases I pitched the yeast at around 28.5 deg celcius. Am I screwed? Any help beer gurus

Yeah I used PET bottles, nice cause you can give em a squeeze to tell co2 being produced. I hear what ur saying tintest gap will result in a leak. Thanks again

Update: Time is the key they are lovely and carbonated now, the odd one comes out flat but most seem carved up thanks guys will be more patient for my bottled cider

That's exactly what my noob ears wanted to hear, will update. Thanks a million

Ok so update, opened one on Sun, sour taste is almost gone, but not much carbonation though. Any ideas?

Cheer Matt I know too hasty, I guess what I'm looking for is carbonation only and rough timescales on carbonation. I kinda assumed 3 weeks for flavours to marry etc.

Was impatient and opened a bottle on Wednesday and there was no carbonation despite having put 2 carb drops per 500ml bottle. Please fellow beer gurus shine your wisdom here.

Cheers man actually tasting okish today. Will update in two weeks if strange taste persists

Thanks guys! Here's hoping

So its a little less sour so went ahead and bottled in the hopes this will go away with bottle conditioning

Right will send one in the morning, taste isn't too bad mire of an after taste really. Might not bin it as it is such a waste. Pic to follow 2mo

Oh no, seems ok otherwise. Any suggestions?

Nearly finished primary fermentation about to rack into bottles, has a slight sour taste, any ideas? Infected?
