After doing two gravity tests, draining a little to clear the tap, then the left over after racking and then dry hopping I don't think it's too bad.

Well I bottled my first brewfridge beer this morning, Knappstein Larger, after 2weeks on primary a couple of days rest then 2 weeks of racking with 25gm of nelson dry hopped it came out of the fermentor crystal clear and tasted great!!!! I can't wait for it to carb up, hopefully my first attempt at ...

Mmmm, now ya got me worried.... I guess I'll rest it just to make sure. Then I'll re jig my bulk priming calculations.

From what I have read I won't require a dactyl rest as I'm brewing at a consistant 10deg.

Cool, sounds like I'm on the Mark then....

People,

Just preparing myself and trying to improve my beer I have decided to bulk prime my knappstein after racking etc, I sifted through all the posts and hav a pretty good idea on it, but people seem to differ on quantities. This calulater,

Cheers people.......

Cheers for that, but what about the can of grumpys 25IBU??

Doc,

I'm wanting to give you LCPA a crack, only prob is I don't gave acess to grumpys, what can I substitute in for that?? The last lot of cascade, when is that added?? I'm reasonably new to it all and trying to learn....

Well I got my first brew down using the starter I had a crack at and in the new fridge. I mixed the wort yesterday and pitched the yeast this morning once it had cooled sufficiently , knappstein here we come.

The whole cooling process got me thinking, this is my second round of brewing (had an ...

Cheers for that, Wast sure if I had to tip the beer off it to store it, will replace with some chilled boiled water tonight.

People,

My starter appears to have worked well, a small yeast cake has formed and is currently sitting in my fridge waiting to be pitched. How long can I keep it in there?? I planned on having the brew done by now but brew shop stuff up and work commitments means I won't get it sown until Sunday ...

Okie dokie, I think I'll give this racking a crack with my knappstein. I don't have space to crash chill so I'll rack it after fermentation and them put it back into the brew fridge for a further couple of weeks to larger it (since I'm using the saf s-23 larger yeast)

If the temps aren't to low I ...

Just wondering if there's any good brew shops in the Melb CBD?? my local is mucking me round with some hops I need and thought I might try pop out during work today and grab what I need in the city....

Just back onto the racking, once transferred into a second fermentor should it be kept at the same temp as it was during primary?? I'm about to get my larger in and wanna giv racking a crack to clear it up and improve it....

Pulled the started out of the cupboard and looks to have a nice yeast cake on the bottom, wacked it into the fridge to cool it down, hoping to pitch it later in the week. Fingers crossed, I'll keep you posted......

I'm planning on chilling it tomorrow in the fridge, draining the liquid and pitching Thursday, been waiting gor the brew shop to get me some nelson sauvin in...

2lt not 2nd.....stupid iPhone auto correct

My mix was 200gm LDMA to 4lt of water (I meant to do 2nd as I said), it seems to be coming along slowly......

Speedy I do agree with you, I've been doing alot of research on this site and have used this starter as a stepping stone to the next level....then next down the track will be AG brewing ...
