haha thx for the reply.

So not all beers will foam up then, well that's good news.

At this stage I don't think I wanna leave me beers fermenting in the wort for 2-3 weeks aye. I'm dryin out and need to stock up me fridge pretty quick, just leaving them for 2 weeks in the bottle is gonna be a ...

Hi again. My 3rd batch of beer is in the fermenter, making Toohey's Dry Lager. This one didn't foam up like the last 2 batches (they were different beer), but the SG reading is dropping so I assume it must be fermenting hey? Also I can see it slowly releasing bubbles on the surface. Gave it a taste ...

haha small world hey! I'm a "console operator" at our local 24hr BP servo (would of been mobil on the main road next to the train lines when u were here, and prolly wasn't 24/7 then either), been doing that for just over 4 years now, and b4 that was a shit kicker cleaning bins n shit at a crash shop ...

Will it effect the beer if I take the lid off about 2-3 times a day for a quick inspection? It's normally only for a few seconds then it's back on. I just like to keep an eye on it.

I'm looking at a slightly dodge picture of it on a smallish laptop screen and find it perfectly visible what is ...

Ah good to hear. Yeah it's a new kit, and just has a lid which slips on and off, doesn't screw on. Also has a collar thing which sits inside the top and goes down about 20mm under the surface, I'm thinkin it's so ya don't get a big ring of crusty yeast around the edge of the wort. The lid still sits ...

Good idea with the cooler bag. We had a few 40 degree days here the other day during my first batch and the wort's temp gauge didn't go over 24 degrees and that's just sitting in our spare room under the aircon, so I think the temp situation shouldn't be a drama now, just gotta remember for my next ...

Thx for the replies guys. Yeah the yeast is already in. On the Coopers DVD it said to get the yeast in as soon as possible, and even if the temp isn't right to still put the yeast in as that's more important....so done that lol.

It's in an airconditioned room (just an evaporative, so it's not bad ...

Only just getting into home brewing, bought me a coopers DIY kit last week. The first batch has so far gone smoothly, bottled it all up last night and 2day I started another batch. Also this time I accidently filled my wort with about 10L of hot tap water b4 I realised "oh shit hang on I should be ...
