Thanks I thought that was the case but couldn't find what I had read.

Ive got a OTR apple kit in the FV since last sunday and has been bubbling away nicely for a few days but over last day or so there seems to be a bit of a eggy smell around the area which smells like its coming from the FV. I'm sure I read on here about this before but cant find it now and just...

what do the finnings do? sorry but not got a clue about them. I came across a review of the kit on here which had few adjustments to it so followed that ( replaced 4 ltr water with apple ) Was planning to keep in primary for 2 weeks and then bottle, is that too long?

Hi Guys, I've just bottled my first brew which was a lager but have picked up a on the rocks cider to do next, I was just wondering (as I found out quickly with the lager not to follow the instructions) are there any key thinkgs I should know i.e temp to keep fv at, should I use brewing sugar...

Noted!!! great having the option to ask questions on here too. I just read on another post that using a enhancer instead of just sugar can also give a higher FG ?? If thats the case then my reading of 1.010 could be about right.

cheers, very reassuring to have you guys say its all ok!!! and the calculator is good too.

Thanks for the replies, Am i right in thinking that the higher the reading the lower the % ?? so bottling at 1.010 will be a lower % lager than at 1.006? Its a coopers lager kit ( the one with a green lid ) sorry I forgot to put that.

Hi I started my brew on 20.04.2013 with a OG of 1.040 I have taken a sample today 10 days later and it shows 1.010 ( i think i'm reading the hydrometer right ) when i took the sample there were small bubbles coming up like id poured it out of a glass to drink it, could this mean its still in the...

ok so that would be 2 weeks in primary? is that ok?

OK so I've had my coopers lager kit on the go since last saturday and after advice from here to drop the temp as I began first two days by following the instructions to the letter its been chugging along nicely. SOOOOOO My P.O.A now has become on Sunday ( 8 days ) I will take a reading and...

Just thought I'd let people know what a great service I had from them. I Ordered a few things yesterday morning and about an hour later realised I had forgot to put 1 small item on the order. I emailed them to ask if i could add it and pay separately but they emailed back to say they would just...

thanks will try to get temp down then, thats right at the bottom of scale on instructions but then thats usually the case with instructions. Thanks for the link good read. I have spent the last three months looking into it before finally giving it a go but read so many different things seem to...

It was 24deg when I added the yeast, the thermometer stuck on side said 26 through sunday but today showing as about 22-24????

Hi sorry if this is in the wrong place but as the title suggests I have a few newbie questions. I have just started my first attempt at home brewing with a coopers lager kit, I followed all the instructions as close as I possibly could and all seemed fine on saturday afternoon when I put the lid...
