ok thx for replyes. swirled it now few times, will leave it room temp for few weeks and check again whats up. Starting at 1.065 and ending at 1.020 wouldnt be that bad if its normal for s-33

Hey! I made 23L batch of coopers Brew *A* http://coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/strong/detail/brew-a/ changed yeast to S-33 with starter. My garage was at 15C / 59f and it seemed fine from checking s-33 profile, everything went fine until about 72h when bubbling and foaming...

All sediment did drop to bottom of bottles even after few days in 11C and carbonation slowed down alot so thanks for tips! Bottles which went to fridge feel like even lost some carbonation when i pressed them. I dry hopped my real ale for 8-9days with 25g of amarillo pellets just tossed it...

Ok thanks for the tips! you said belgian ales can go up to 3-3.5, didnt find anywhere what PET bottles really can take before exploding, is there a figure? I bet my real ale bottles still fermented from 1.011 to 1.008 (around) and had 30g more sugar than needed and it took only 2-3 days to get...

Ok thanx everyone for good advice! I wont be making this mistake again for sure. Im not really familiar with vols, only did read some threads on brewtalk, is 2.5vol normal figure for ale/lager or just too much already? I Will get digital scale asap but im afraid to go over 2.0 if this could...

Sorry had too much to drink yesterday dont know what the hell i was trying to say, just made some mistake with online calculator before bottling then. :mug: I have only space for half of the bottles in my fridge will move those when i get home tomorrow, i have 11.5C in my cellar would that stop...

Well i never calculated predicted FG, should be around 1, 010 i guess if og was 1.045-1.050 and saf 04 used how low it can still go in bottles? Was aiming for 2.5 vols and dont have digital scale atm. It was +-175g of dextrose what i put in, i think my calculation was totally wrong but it said...

Hey Could be i made big mistake. I fermented real ale 22l for 2 weeks in 16c ambient with safale-04, then took sample and it was 1.015 (og 1.045-1.050). Thought it could be better move it to 20-22c for rest. Kept it there for 5 days and took sample 20th and 21th day mark, it was stable 1.012...

Did it by your version uniondr and went well, i did let rehydrated yeast to cooldown 40mins to 19C and added then it to 16C wort so should be good enough. My ambient is at 53F and beer temp is at 57F and air lock is bubbling nicely, it say on package that ideal temp is 10-15C for W-34/70 so...

Did put it in bathtub.. dont have ice at the moment but water is 14C so it will go quicker. What temp (wort) should i pitch my rehydrated yeast in? Mix of 2 yeasts w-34/70 11.5g and 7g coopers lager yeast

Ok. Last time i had rehydrated yeast with cap on for about 9h before pitching.. that was way too long then i guess. Now my wort is at 30C / 85F after fridge cold water, guess that i need to cool it AGAIN.. seems like when im boiling with 1.5-2.5gals its just too much and cant get it even near...

I can get only ambient to 53F / 11.5C but not lower, i also have 3.5g less W-34/70 as recommended so maybe its a good thing. Can i already get strong esters at 55f beer temperature for W-34/70?

Yeah will be doing that today, 25g at 15min + 12.5g dry hopping 7 days. I will rehydrate my 6g of coopers lager yeast + w-34/70 11.5g for hour or 2. Can i pitch it in 68f/20c wort like ale yeast or it needs to be more near fermentation temperature? Going to let it drop then in 24h with 12-13C...

I bought finishing hop bags of saaz (pellets) which are size of 12.5g each and look like tea bags. Should i just add 2x12.5g bags in boil at 5min and let it ferment with it? Or remove bag after boil? Atleast dry hopping with these will be easy :)

Yeah instructions say that kit is pre hopped and shouldnt be boiled.. so i will just add it at flameout. I will be dryhopping 12.5g saaz pellets week before *lagering* for sure. Just dont know about boiling schedule for pilsner.. i have in stock 12.5g saaz pellets for dryhopping and 25g for...

Thx for fast answer! I only added hops once before and didnt even think of adding them that early (60mins) If i add +60mins 12.5g saaz pellets.. should i add dme+sugar same time or later in boil? Recipe at coopers site only suggests this hop addition: Add the Saaz hop pellets to 500ml of...

Hi again everyone! Anyone here done coopers site recipe for czech pilsner, if yes was it good one? I mean this one : http://coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/lager/detail/czech-pils/ One thing coming mind was amount of yeast.. i have only 11.5g gram pack instead of 15g recommended size...

Im planning on carbing bottles at 21-22C for about 2-3 weeks.. Final FG ended at 1.002 and im not going to back sweeten it, since it seems too big challenge for first cider. After carbing for few weeks should i put all bottles to fridge or just cool temp (12-15C).. or even let them stay at...

Im using DIY coopers fermenter without airlock so didnt see start of fermentation that good, still i saw it start to take off already at 3-4h in REALLY FAST, and huge 5-8cm white foam and krausen. My ambient temperature is 16 / 61F ... and beer temp seems to be around 63-63.5f / 17-17.5C. Didnt...

Im using safale-04 instead of kits yeast it started really nicely at first i thought its done after 2 weeks before taking sample, beer temp was first at 63 but now is around 61 after primary fermentation ended. 1.012-1.010 would be really nice finish FG if my og is around 1.045-1.050 as you...
