in an ale yeast into the draught ...

G'day i just started a draught brew today at 11am, however its now 8:48pm and the tempurture is around 16'C,

thanks all for you repsonses, it makes a lot of sense now to try different ways of brewing without relying the same ingrediants for each brew

At the moment i'm having a drink of red back wheat beer,

know coopers has a ...

this time before rushing to bottle , i'm finding that when i made the first batch

G'day again , oliver i came home late this arvo, and an even larger scum ring had formed, inside the carboy
and the airlock was bubblying away madly.

The temputure now is 18'C, so how long roughly does ale take to ferment?
I pleased about my first brew ever 2 months ago,,

cheers
