Christmas Day and just cracked open a bottle of Brewferm Christmas Ale that I vottled eight weeks ago. Bloody lovely. Rich malt with a real mouthwatering after-tang. For some reason the photo will not upload.

I'll give it a go. I've done four other Coopers kits, the Australian Pale Ale, Stout, Real Ale and the Dark Ale. All have been excellent .

Well I bottled it today and whilst a bit cloudy still it tasted ok. Quite dry and hoppy, so fingers crossed for cracking open the first bottle in a few weeks' time! I've been brewing again for just over a year and done almost 20 kits so far without a duff batch to date.One brew (can't recall...

Warmer than that. About 22-23 C. It was at 1.004 two days ago, but I didn't measure the OG.

Cheers! My post was moved here by the Mod. It's Bad Cat Imperial Red, 7.5%. Would putting the bulk brew into the cold now not affect the success of secondary fermentation in the bottles?

Hi I'm a born again homebrewer. Used to dabble a bit decades ago but now returned and my very first brew is this one! It's 17 days into primary and has just finished "flooping" through the airlock. I have used a fermemnter with a drainage tap and all has gone very well so far. The sample I...
