Hi Darrellm, thanks for sharing the info. Yeah I am a newbie in homebrewing, I've done 10 batches of ale, and this was my first lager experiment, and yeahhh I know it's hard to keep your hands and mouth off of the brew ;), especially when I am always thirsty :). I have got a Kolsch is my...

Hi guys, coming back with an update after over 2 weeks. I have given my beer a warm rest, and chilled one bottle today, and just now cracked it open. It is unbelievable, but it actually "fixed" itself and I am not tasting ANY of the off flavours I described earlier, and still can't believe it...

It also depends on how much wort you're brewing, but I for example always brew half batches only, e.g. 10L instead of 20L, and I always use all of the yeast in my half batch, as if I was fermenting a full batch, and all my batches turned out great (except my latest lager experiment,but that's a...

I have a measuring spoon and add priming sugar using a funnel straing into each bottle. I used to use cabonation drops, but they are expensive, and hence I switched to the sugar. Better way however would be to boil the sugar to sanitize it and stir it into your fermented wort in a separate...

I've gone comercial tonight: Kirin Ichiban, Japanese lager

Hello again fellas, Bottles I used were recycled bottles, I had done 10 bathes in them already, I always thoroughly wash them before use, and had no problems, I also used recycled bottles for the kit lager batch which turned out OK so far... New Crown caps obviously, bought at local home brew...

Thanks very much all, appreciate so many responses in such a short while. I took them out of the fridge, and will let them stand at warmer temp for 2 weeks, to see whats what, and update you then. I took reading 14 days into primary fermentation and 1015 was what I was aiming for, which is why I...

Hi all, Sorry to bother you, but I can't help posting this question about my lager attempt, that has probably gone wrong. I brewed a small 10L (2.5gallon) batch with only pilsner malt, Wyeast 2007, and some Saaz hops. For priming, I used brewing sugar, 3 grams into each bottle while bottling...
