Be patient, things taste better when they are left alone. Unfortunately new brewers think their beer will be ready the day after it has finished fermenting.

If something doesn't go as expected, dont panic, leave everything well alone and ask on here. Chances are loads of people have had the same problem and you'll be back on track in no time.

Don't try and hide anything from the mrs, she may get new shoes past you but mark my words she'll spot that new bit of kit a mile away. It's like they're psychic or something. :nono:

It is a learning process, don't get despondent if the first beer has issues.

And don't be afraid to ask (even if you think it sounds silly).

If you have just put a beer in the fermenter... its time to start the next brew!!

 

[Muddydisco]
