I think I left mine in for 6 days, maybe I got lucky or you got unlucky. I'm picking up another pouch at the weekend so it's in the queue for the fv

Worst case you might lose a pint or so, but you should be alright.

It all depends how low your tap is, my trub wasn't excessively deep {picture attached) . I suppose you'll just have to make a judgement call at the time.

Here's a pic from a clear bottle

I can't actually remember, but would have been around the 1.010 mark. It's californian lager yeast so is OK to ferment at 20 degrees, I set mine off around 19 but turned the temp down bit by bit and it kept on fermenting fine, I didn't want to go any lower and risk stalling it. I found it a tiny...

Hi Mick, My batch finished fermenting a few weeks ago, I love it, very hoppy, I would say equivalent to Guiness hop house 13. I have already decided to make another batch in the summer. Just to warn you I chilled mine in a beer fridge after carbing and got quite a bit of chill haze that is...

I just put mine in the fv. Gotta say those pouches are more of a pain than regular cans. OG 1.040, so probably gonna end up a driving lager

This is nothing new, and likely something most of you have cobbled together, but I'm pleased as punch with it. It is essentially a wooden box that holds about 40 bottles. It covered on all sides with 25mm polystyrene as insulation. After bottling, I bung in 40 bottles with a couple of heat...

Excellent, thanks. Me and the Mrs had some lovely pints of helles in Berlin recently so I bought a kit to see what it's like. Let me know whether you added the hops and what your recommendation is

How did this turn out? This is next for my fv in a few weeks

I have just bottled these, I managed to get to the brew shop before voting so picked up a bag of saaz hops. I made a hop tea with 8g of hops and added this to the last 10 litres, so I now have 10 litres as per instructions and 10 litres mildly hopped (I hope). What temperature should I...

To be honest I'm more a mild ale/blondes and lagers man. I only did the woodfordes because it was on the shelf in wilko's and I figured it would be a better quality product than their home brand kits. I have about 20 bottles of the wherry conditioning in the conservatory so these will last me...

It does taste pretty good. The flavour isn't really my cup of tea, but I shall definitely be drinking the rest, but it tastes similar to the woodfordes wherry you can buy in a bottle so I'm calling it a success. I've been a bit concerned that they've not been carbing up, but this has allayed my...

Here are some photos of the woodfordes wherry. The glass is freshly cleaned, they just have some odd marking in them.

I know, i couldn't believe how fast it was going and how fast it finished up. The 12 weeks will be a real struggle, but i will do my best, and if I crack I'll make sure I leave several full the full amount of time. I want to try to get another brew done while it's still early enough in winter...
