Thanks for the response CrowCrow.
I hadn’t thought about transferring and then crashing as it’s a Porter, but I guess there would be no harm in doing that.
Gerryjo, sadly the hops are loose in there not in a bag so I can’t remove them, if that’s what you meant?
Or did you mean cold crash in...
Hi All,
I have a Festival Pride of London Porter on the go at the moment, fermentation has been going well in the brew-fridge and after 9 days I put the hops in. The instructions say leave the hops in for 5 days, however I'm going away for work from tomorrow for 5 days (late notice) and I had...
Update: Okay so it's been reasonably active since I raised the temperature and gave it a gentle stir a week ago, it's been bubbling away quite happily, the bubbles have slowed over the last couple of days, and have almost stopped today. I've just taken a reading and disappointed to see it's only...
Okay thanks, and any difference to the fermentation or taste?
Thanks for the help, I plan to do this one again so it's good to know what works best.
Was that 1.2kg of the pure malt extract or 600ml?
I was thinking maybe that was why mine was so explosive at the start, but I only used 600ml...
Just a quick update:
I heard back from Mangrove Jacks, and it appears that I used 600ml 'MJ Pure Malt Enhancer' when I should have used 600ml 'Dextrose/ Brew Enhancer' - I just followed Brew2Bottle recommendations on their site.

If I'm reading this right, the brewers friend calculators is saying...
For 20l Wheat beer at 3.9 Volumes of CO2: at 20º
= Table Sugar: 243.1 g
So that would be 6 grams per 500ml

Sadly the MJ instructions are universal for Ale, Wheat Beer, Larger etc so not much help there in specifics for priming.
. Fill your bottles leaving 5 cm (2 “) headspace (measure from the very top of the bottle). Before sealing bottles add Mangrove Jack’s Carbonation Drops (this...
Also I'd like to make these a fairly carby, would two of the Coopers carb drops be okay in a 500ml bottle?
I think they recommend 1x for a 375ml or 2x for a 750ml bottle.
Thanks for the replies and thoughts everyone.
So I gave it a gentle stir and pushed the temperature up to 24º, and after 12hrs she's now bubbling away again. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can get down to the 1.008 and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Cheers
Hi Ben, thanks for the reply.
It's a Mangrove Jacks premium kit + 600mg Pure Malt Enhancer. I've had success with some of their kits in the past so I know that they are normally pretty good.
Yes hydrometer calibrated and all okay in water at 1.000
OG was 1.040
Currently 1.016
SG should be...
Hi All, I'm brewing a Mangrove Jacks Raspberry Berliner Weiss which has stuck (my first stuck brew), has anyone else had any experience with this one, it's the MJ M20 Bavarian Weiss yeast.
I re-hydrated and pitched the yeast two weeks ago (at 25º - the brewfridge was set to 20º) fermentation...
