it might be worth u getting a secondry fementer with a tap on and banging ur cream ale in it for a week or two then rebottling otherwise when its carbonated the fizz is gonna disturb all the sediment and ur gonna get all clumps in your beer......i ended up gettin a bout half a pint of clear beer...

yeh me thinks ur too keen like i was too bottle it........slow down relax take a chill pill.....let gravity do its work

i had the same problem............instead of bottling i got a second fementer with the tap quite high up to let all the yeast settle properly b4 i bottled it..........i wasted most of a batch cos of all the seddiment at the bottom of the bottles now there is hardly any through just letting it...

what i think he meant was because they are not dark coloured the light can break down the beer giving off flavours and the like even within hours of being bottled so always store them in a dark place for best results

my batch in the keg is still cloudy after 17 days ...........how much longer will it take! .......my other batch of the same lager which i bottled cleared after 4-5 days...its in a king keg top tap so i would have thought it would have started to clear abit seem as its being drawn off from the top!

yeh im guity as charged...i tend to whack it all in and get it covered as soon as possible rather than having the lid off to long..

....yeh last time i threw the malt in it was like a fricking big football size thingy ....me arm are was aching from all the stirring ,it took me ages to get it to dissolve.......this time though ive stuck it in a pan with cold water and stirred it and gonna bring to the boil later b4 i stick it...

.................why does it always clump and congeal when i use it...whats the knack with this stuff,shud i boil it first to get all the lumps out????

....lol its supposed to be a lager..........i didnt think of mixing it with cordial lol..........i could have lager and lime haha

the kit said steep the hop pellets for 15min i boiled for 15 min instead i tasted it after 3 weeks (i primary and 2 secondry) and it didnt taste good ....well too much hop taste.....so what did i do!! accidentley mixed up the hops i was boiling to add to another batch and added it to...

well i tasted a bit of it that was left in the racking cane and it tasted pretty minging b4 it went in the barrel so with these extra hops its gonna be undrinkable..................unless i leave it a few months!:cross:

.....i boiled some goldings hops for 15mins and added it to a 5 gallon batch of lager that i had already hopped..duh! i blame it on a bad nights sleep

............wow i cant believe what i just done....i just added them hops to the wrong batch lmao........oh dear! its gonna be a minging batch me thinks!

............what about boiling 25grams of hops for 15mins and adding it when im adding my priming sugar to the barrel that im using.......would that not be a bad idea! to balance it out a little bit

......well i was hoping on something a little stronger than a session beer but not to heavy.......i was gonna add some hops but left them out because this is my 4th attempt at brewing i didnt want to get 2 much out of my depth!

......yeh like i say it was just one of them cheap lager kits that come in a 1.8kg tin with a packet of cheap yeast and u just add a bag of sugar and water 2....so i just whacked 2 kg of glucose and a kg of dme instead to boost it
