I have bottled 2.5 litres and barrelled the rest been sat in a cupboard at 18C since May 22nd. Think this is cold enough?

As far as I am a aware you can bottle into clear no problem. Have read it is better for the beer in darker bottles with less light getting to it.

Mine is indoors and the heat belt is virtually on constantly so may be what's done it! It's a kit so just used all the sugar/dextrose that came with it. I'll start cooking it after ten days so this time next week. Need to get another barrel and do another.

So you're telling me my 14 day incubation may be cut short....sat here drinking some brew dog wishing it was free

The bottom of the barrel normally concave has burst out. No leakage etc but didn't expect that much pressure within two days....

Anyone else's pressure barrel do this? Been in there since Friday night and seen it like this a few hours ago.....

Just a quick question. Looking to barrel it and have 5 sling tops as well to fill. It is still bubbling but quite sporadically. Been fermenting for 12 days. Still ok to bottle? Going away with work tomorrow and not back until Friday how long can I leave it in the fermenter for? Getting itchy...

Looking like it's fine, hops added Wednesday night so been steady for 5 days. Will barrel and bottle it today. Thanks for the help guys it's appreciated!

It is mate. Give it a day or two?

Thanks Matt, first time I've opened it as the instructions said 5 days then add the hop pellets. Then leave for another five days. Think it's ready to do that? Gravity once finished fermenting is meant to be at 1.005.

Hi guys Just an update been brewing since Wednesday evening and now it's Monday night. Reckon this is looking on course? First brew not a clue what it's supposed to look like. Thanks

Thanks appreciate it. Will give it a try then and see it as a lesson learnt but absolutely gutted haha! Just tested the gravity says 1.040. See how it is in 5 days! Thanks!

Hi lads, Purchased a beginner kit today and happy with what I have got. Along with it came festivals razorback ipa. Did everything methodically up until adding the water. Read top up to 23 litres as now add 23 litres. Spotted my mistake after putting in 20L. It's past the measurements on...
