Expected OG 1.057 (got 1.054) FG should be 1.010. Yeast was Safale 05 and its being bottled, which is why i'm a bit cautious.

Two weeks.

Good advice. Providing the yeast doesn’t get stressed I’m sure this one will be good. Here’s hoping

Thanks for reply. I thought I was going to end up having a sweet lowish ABV but hopefully that won’t be the case

Hi all, rather than starting another thread I thought I would post here. Hope no one minds. I was expecting to bottle my AG Smash IPA this weekend. Last night I opened up to take gravity reading and it appeared to stall at 1.020. I agitated sediment gently to suspend yeast and raised...

Every little helps i guess ;)

I appreciate your reply. My friend (a successful AG brewer) drilled into me about sanitation and fermentation temperatures being part of success. Therefore i have been obsessive with cleaning and sanitization. :)

Hi all A few weeks back we had a house fire. Significant damage but could have been worse. However, as I have asthma and to help clear the air, a family member bought me an air purifier with Uv light filter to kill air born bacteria and viruses. It got me thinking as to whether it has any...

I’ve made a Smash of Marris Otter and Centennial. I’ve taken loads of notes and tried to monitor every step. We’ll see how that turns out.

Cheers! The waiting for next brew step is killing me. Kits are all well and good. But my first AG attempt has added an extra layer of excitement tempered by a significant dose of anxiety

My set up isn’t too technical at the moment. Fermentation fridge next on the list. But it’s interesting hearing different approaches.

Thanks for tour reply. In my planning I hadn’t actually thought about dry hopping specifics. Had a last minute panic

Hi all I have already posted within newbie forum being very keen to get started. However i felt a bit guilty not introducing myself. My name is Paul, but friends call me Toze, which is a shortened version of my surname; and i live in Plymouth, England. I have done a couple kits but felt i...

Hi all I have made an Smash of Marris otter and centennial. I want to dry hop later this week. Fermentation is nearly over gurgling away at between 20 and 24 degrees. My question relates to temperature of wort for the dry hopping process. Do I need to maintain the temperature for this...

This is my concern because they are indeed small but instructions say half a tab for 5 gallons:/

Many thanks for the reply.

Hi all! I am making the transition from kits to AG BIAB. I intend to use treated tap water. Perhaps a silly question, but are all Campden tablets the same size? I keep reading that i should put half a tablet for 5 gallons. The tablets i have purchased are tiny and it got me thinking that the...
