If you get the indentation on the cap, have alook at the inside of the bell. There is a black spring loaded thing inside which can be pushed back with your thumb. This is the indentation maker.

I have been using one for some time now and have found that it controls the fridge temp very well. I have never experianced the temp to deviate outside the set range.

Thanks for the quick replies, but I am looking for the mathematical formula to enable me to use it in a spreadsheet.

I am looking for the formula to correct the SG for temperature variations. It needs to be for a hydrometer which has been calibrated at 20 deg C. It can be complicated since I will be using it in a spreadsheet. At this point I could only get one that corrects for a calibration temp of 60 deg F ...

I understand from the Coopers site that the the Pale Ale and Sparkling Ale will in future be supplied in non screw cap type Longnecks to allow the home brewers to re-use these bottles. Has anyone seen this and if you did, does it look as if it will do the job?

400 g LDM
300 g Corn sugar
15 g Fruggles boiled for 3 min
Made up to 23 litres

It fermeted very well and maybe a bit to fast the temp was kept around 22 deg. I have now ...

I tasted the lager over the weekend. It tastes very much like South African Castle Lager , but with a bit more of a malt flavour. For those that know South African beer I would describe it as a cross between Castle Lager and Windhoek Lager.

As the title indicates I am new to this exiting hobby of brewing my own beer. I have a few questions for the more experience brewers. Up to now I have been doing the standard thing i.e. adding a can of premixed malt and hops from a supplier with some fermentable sugars to a fermenter and topping it ...
