Interestingly.... My first two kit beers finished fermentation in 3 days flat each time....this brew i heard bubbling (although every 30s or so and longer) and its been 9 days. I have used the SAF Ale ale yeast before, but i haven't seen fermentation take so long. Bear in mind I am fermenting at 22 ...

Yeah, it seems pretty handy to have two. I started with a normal 23L white plastic food grade bucket with a whole for the airlock. Since i got the kit, the fermenter has only been empty for 1 day, and that was because my order was a day late :) I work for a global brewing company, so I have access t...

Tha...

Thanks Wiz. I heard a decent ratio is 3.46l of water per 1kg of malt (averaged for malt) for mashing, does this sound too low? Is there also a chart that would tell me how much I would lose to evaporation while the boil is on over an hour? I guess what i want is . X malt X y Water = input. - What i ...
