Cold crash for a few days at around 2c before kegging/bottling.

Looks fine to me. Will be very light and sessionable. I'd probably dry hop with around 15g of citra too!

Aint that the truth.

Chorley FM. Coming in your ears.

The Greg Hughes American Wheat beer recipe is pretty good. Light and refreshing. I added a 40gram Citra dry hop to it though for a slightly bigger punch of hops and used us-05 yeast. Perfect for summer drinking.

Had a bottle of Old Pec' last night. Nearly seen a beer taste so different to what it looks like. Was fantastic. Will certainly be brewing it up in 2016.

Do you keep the pressure on when serving? Only thing i can possibly suggest is check the seals and lid arnt leaking.

12 PSI should be a bit livelier when kept at 5c. Should be around perfect carbonation for a lager. How long is the beer and what thickness is the line? This can have an impact on the carbonation.

I made an all grain american wheat beer last night and intend to be drinking it on the 23rd of December before I go to a gig....

I've recently found that 90 minute boils seem to be producing clearer beers for myself.

If im aiming to make 23 litres of beer, I normally aim for 26.5 litres for a 60 minute boil or 28 litres for a 90 minute boil. That's just how much I normally tend to boil off. I normally end up with 21 litres in the FV as i lose a couple of litres in the boiler due to trub and hop's...

Dixons of Westerhope are normally pretty competitive. I get my co2 from there. Good customer service too.+

I have a litre pet bottle of water in there and put the temp probe into here which is right next to the fv.

Have my ferment fridge which I will set to 18c. I am also planning on top cropping the yeast after a couple of days fermentation for a future brew!

Ive ordered 100g each of bobek and celia hops and the wyeast 1469 and im getting this on on Sunday. Should be a corker for Christmas drinking!!
