    I started this 11 days ago OG of 1.055, fermentation very active for 4 days tailed off after 7 and now I think all but finished at 1.010. I'm leaving it on the trub and have just added some dry hops as an optional recommendation. Never dry hopped before so a bit wary but you have to practice...

    Spoilt Yeast/Brew?

    Thanks I'll pitch today. I am still a bit concerned that because the wort was not chilled properly that would also be ruined. I'll see in a few weeks!

    Thank you , I was worried because I had not gone through the quick chill process and thought the wort would also be ruined.

    Spoilt Yeast/Brew?

    I made a stupid mistake today by pitching my yeast in to the wort at a temperature of 75c instead of 75 f . I guess I've killed the yeast? Can I pitch another one tomorrow? Help appreciated

    Boiler Cover/Lid

    I made a stupid mistake today and pitched my yeast into my wort which was at the temperature of 75c instead of 75f. Stupid I know. Is there a way that I can recover this? My other query but not so serious is do I add sugar when the fermentation is finished and I move it to the storage pressure...

    Boiler Cover/Lid

    Thank you. My first and only brew was in a small outside shed with no ventilation and I found the vapour overpowering as I'd left the lid off. I did think if the lid was on the vapour created would dilute the beer. I'll boil lid off but this time nearer the open door,thanks.

    Is it best to keep the lid on when I'm using my Buffalo boiler? Thanks

    When to add finings

    I'm 10 days in to the fermentation process and intend to bottle the whole brew at 16 days adding sugar to each bottle. I'm unsure of when to add finings as I wish to ensure a nice clear beer! Used Whitelabs English Ale yeasr, maris otter, pale crystal malt and dark crystal malt with Challenger...

    To pitch more Yeast?

    No I did not want to disturb it. Would you suggest a look and if there is some activity just leave it? If no sign of activity pitch some more? ]airlock activity is not the best way to check. Have you had a look at it?
