I took a sg reading about a week ago, it was at 1.014. Airlock has been bubbling all week and today it's still at 1.014. Tastes alright so I'll bottle this weekend.

Well, I feel a bit stupid now. I thought it would be more complicated! Cheers.

Hi All I haven't been brewing for long and up until now I haven't been too bothered about knowing exactly how much beer I've got in my FV. However I now have a bottling bucket, so instead of adding priming sugar to my bottles, I want to add it to the bottling bucket. But that means I need...

Yes I have a hydrometer, thanks for the handy hint though :thumb: Obviously I don't particularly want to unnecessarily open the FV to take a reading. As I say, every brew I've done up until now has finished fermenting within two weeks, so just thought I'd ask the question. I was worried about...

Hi All I'm pretty new to homebrewing have done a couple of extract brews and a few BIAB. I'm pretty happy with my mash and boiling process, but the fermentation and bottling part is not working very well. I just have a fermenting bin with a tap. In to that goes everything out of my...

Thanks guys. I ended up tying a piece of muslin over the tap inlet which did the job. Just have to wait a few weeks now!

Hi All First time brewer and forum poster here. Looking for a bit of advice please. I've bought the minimum amount of kit I thought I would need to make the Young's AAA kit. I have a 15 litre fv which I bought with a tap attached already and to which I can attach a little bottler. I've...
