Hey Guys, bottled a Lager on Monday and used a Carbing Drop for each bottle……..when will I start seeing some action? So far the bottles aren’t starting to firm up or anything so am getting a bit worried. Was hoping to have Drinkable Beer for Xmas

Not my first Rodeo Chief, started at 1.38/ 1.40 so will see what it’s like Monday

it says 10 x days so will see what it’a like Monday and go from there

I’m about halfway through the brewing process. I’ve been looking at ways to cut down Bottling and it looks like it may cut times down considerably (Bottling Tree, Bottle Rinser, Carbing Drops) Will have to let you know how it goes

Right so I pitched it last Friday night…..it’s died down quite a bit, but it’s still occasionally bubbling. Did have a peek earlier and the Krausen’s gone, that sounds about right yeah?

Yes, no buggering about lol. On the instructions it reckons 10 x Days to brew. I reckon that may be spot on to be fair

4 x days in and I really want to open it up and have a mooch. It won’t harm it to open it up and have a peek will it?

Hey all, so this is my first Brew after taking a bit of a long break. When I was brewing in the past I had an FV without a hole for an airlock so I used to leave the lid on loosely so air could escape. I pitched this Brew Friday night and maybe it’s because I’ve got an airlock on so notice it...

I’m on another group on Facebook and they said if you’re making Turbo only use half a sachet of yeast. I’m going to try a batch next Summer but so far haven’t been very successful

Just got the notification from DPD my Kit’s on the way! Soooooooooo excited! Hoping to pitch it tonight, worst case tomorrow morning before work. I’m all prepped I think, the only thing I’m not 100% on is how much yeast Nutrient do I need to put in? Yes, these are the strange things I’m...

I’ve not baked any bread in ages. Love to Bake Cakes though, going to make a Yule Log Cake on Wednesday hopefully

Well….. I was thinking 7 - 10 in Fv 4 days with the Finings 10 days Carbing in Bottles? It’s been a while so my timing’s may be off

So do I! If I put it on this weekend, I should have drinkable Beer by Christmas right? It’s nice to get back to doing all of this, I was just going through it all last night and it’s reminded me off all the hassle of setup but it should all be ok

Just bought a whole new setup today. Picked up a Coopers European Lager Kit so we’ll see how that goes. Spending too much on cans so it’ll be nice to go back and brew my own stuff again. Brew2Bottle say it’ll be 2 - 5 days delivery so should have it started for next Weekend

Hi All, Started Brewing just before Covid Hit. Have taken a tiny break and now want to get back to it. Was going through my stuff and apart from a Brewing Vessel I’m good to go I think…… Going to wait till tomorrow as there’s a sale on Brew2Bottle. I’ve got my eye on a Lager Kit etc. I’m...
