Thanks Clibit, I dunno what the yeast was, It came with the kit - "muntons yorkshire bitter" cheers, kevin

I live in the tropics, pretty much constant temp of about 32 deg C in my outside kitchen. Just put 80 pints of bitter on and its stopped fermenting after 3 days n 3 nights. i pitched the yeast between 35-40 deg C as i was in a rush n on the way out. Any of you guys ever had a ferment finished...

hops were EC Golding, just checked the brew n its just about stopped fermenting 3 days n its finished, guess that's the heat of the tropics for ya i'm gutted :(

2 x 40 pint muntons yorkshire bitter kits, 1.5 lbs Victory malt crushed, steeped & lautered, boiled for 1 hour. 30 grammes hopps added at boiling temp 15 grammes hops added 15 minutes before boil finish. 30 grammes added into fermenting vessel. yeast added @ 35 deg C bubbling away nicely :)

Hiya Brewers, I bought some 500g packets of Freeze dried Malt Extracts to use in brewing some kits. Unfortunately I didn't get to use them and they have been in a cupboard for 12 months. I got them out today and the packaging is fully intact but the contents have gone solid like a brick. They...
