Hi all, I am bottle conditioning some Wiessbeer at 10oc as it is in my garage - the FV was in there for the past two weeks until I got round to bottling, is this going to stop or slow the carb on these beers?

Ahh ok - it starts pretty much straight off the bat - so annoying!

For clarity it looks like there should be a bung or something in here to stop the air slurping in!

I purchased an AutoSiphon from the sponsor site GEB and am a little disappointed with the product - so am wondering if it is me using it wrong. I pop the AS in the green beer to put into my bottling bucket and give it a couple of pumps and it starts going - however shortly after it starts...

Thanks for the detail on the beer bug - their website did seem exceptionally buggy when trying to look at detail the other day.

I have been ordering from GEB'd and found no real efficiency issue with the crushed they have sent out - I don't know if I have been lucky - I guess buying 25KG at a time would be handy. Does it make that big of a difference hand crushing? Hadn't thought of that though..

Hi all, So with xmas fast approaching my wife is asking what it is I would like for xmas and I can only really think of things for my setup - the problem is, I don't know what I actually want... My setup is pretty basic, I have a plastic Brupaks 29L boiler - a converted cool box mash tun some...

I have tried another since and no issue - it has been brewed about 8 weeks - I think I know what happened though - I tried to bottle prime the beer and after attempting one, batch primed but still poured into that bottle!!! Silly.... On the streaky brew - it seems to have disappeared - the brew...

So I opened a bottle of my first brewed batch yesterday and wow! It literally EXPLODED out of the bottle, I think there was only 20% left in the bottle so I didn't taste to see if it was an infection, I will leave that to find out tonight as I seem to remember priming one individually and then...

When I first pour my beer it appears quite bright and crisp but after a minute or so, the beer seems to almost fade and go a murky colour- it is really strange and I have no idea why? Am I going crazy, or is this a phenomenon?

Yea - I couldn't wait. At 13 days after bottling the beer is markedly better than the last trial - shockingly so. I chilled a single bottle over the past two days and when I saw it looking at me, couldn't resist giving it a go. I should have let it settle to room temperature as when it warmed...

Thanks for the heads up covrich - I have switched these around as suggested.

Well done guys!

I have a real issue with my AutoSiphon - I keep pumping it and it just pulls in so much air, will the beer in the top solve this too?

My brother in law works at a pub and gets these in the droves (well 20 a night) and I love these bottles! They are so easy to clean too! Hot water and soda crystals - the labels slide off and just clean with a bottle brush - these will be my go to with a bench capper I have no issues. Now I am...

So this was bottled last Sunday and I really couldn't wait to try what is my first real AG beer - the 10L mess up was bottled last Friday. I put it in the fridge today in order to try and settle out the 05 but it was still a little cloudy. I think this is just a time thing. So my thoughts after...
