Im brewing a kit based Cream Stout with a starting SG of 1.046 and which says it should go down to 1.005. After nearly two weeks I cant get below 1.014 in one keg (one type of yeast) and the other two kegs will not come down past 1.020 on a differing type of yeast. The temp has been...

Hey all, Money's a little tight right now but I have 2kg of Carrapills, 2kg of pale Crystal Malt and 2kg of Crystal Malt. Any suggestions what I could do with it? Andy

Yeh, I screwed up again. :D I made a Norwegian Christmas been in a rush a few weeks ago as I was told I had to travel over sea's the same day and I was in the middle of brewing. To cut a long story short I got my volumes wrong and I ended up with an extra 16ltrs of Wart when I should ave...

Ive tried my hand at making Lager and its turned out terribly. :( I mostly have myself to blamb but I wonder if there is anyway to rescue it? Firstly, I think Ive added way to little yeast. Ive made two 19 ltr batches and I only used one vial of White Labs Lager Yeast in each keg. I never...

Hey all. :) I have inherited three of these kits: http://www.stpetersbrewery.co.uk/products/beer-kits/ruby-red-ale-beer-kit-duplicate/ The kit consists of two cans of Hopped Malt Extract (Fuggles and Challenger hops), some kind of Generic Brewing Yeast and a sachet of Hop extract...

Can anyone sheds one light on what could have formed on my latest brew? It's a recipe I found in here, a Vanilla Caramel Cream Ale. It has this fairly bright yellow crud floating around the surface. Almost buttery in colour. The cameras not quite picking up the colour though. I did a quick...

Hey all, I was in the middle of the boil of an Indian Brown Ale (Norwegian recipe) and I had a household emergency (Plumbing leak in the new Bathroom) that took me away from the Boil for a while. To cut a long story short after the 90 minutes I instructed my wife to turn the water on...

Hey all, some more questions. :D Ive stated a Munich Dunkle and a Bock from some reciies I found on here but Im struggling to find a good fermentation schedule for them. Last night I pitched at 46f and raised the temp to 50f and was expecting to see some action today (24 hours...

Hello again, :D I have a Norwegian Christmas Beer in the FV right now and its soon time for bottling. It required 3 weeks fermenting time and 6 weeks lagering at 0-4 degree's C. My question is this; Is there enough active yeast to condition the Bottles or would it be a good idea to add more...

Hello all, Ive finally purchased 4 Cornys and am in the process of converting a Fridge into a Kegorator and that has got me wondering what beer, Ale or Lager works better with a Keg than bottling, if any? Also, I presume there is no or little conditioning time in a Keg, or am I...

Hello again, :) Ok, so over the weekend I have brewed an American IPA and a Oatmeal Stout. Whilst the IPA has a nice yeast layer at the top and is churning away very nicely the Stout looks much less lively, there is no real yeast layer at the top t speak off and although it is bubbling away...

Hey all, more dumb questions. :ban: Ive started a 6 week Lagering period on my Norwegian Christmas Beer. As its cold outside right now its on the patio but the temp can drop below freezing during the night. Will this be ok?

Hey, Ive just Mashed, hopped and cooled an American IPA. http://www.bryggselv.no/products/american-ipa-allgrain-lsett-25l Its in Norwegian but Google chrome will autotranslate. It states the O.G should be 1.067 but I took a reading and its 1.076. Now, the All Grain Kit is designed...

Hello all, Ive been a bot of a lurker whilst Ive been trying to get my head around the ins and outs of Brewing and Ive just committed a cardinal sin. Well a few actually. :D I made an all grain Single Hop IPA. The recipe called for a 14 day fermentation period with a dry hopping...
