Thanks Baz - that's awesome! Will have to try it!!!

I don't like the belgian fruit beers - but I do like the others...

EDIT - do you just chuck the hops in the wort??? Or do you need to cook it up then strain?

Oh and Andy - the Saffale blue is saccharomyces ceriviciae - the traditional ale yeast - so I probably will try it.

Well thanks everyone for the tips.

I may be trying to run before I can walk, but I went and got the gear for my 2nd brew this arvo - will be trying a Duvel recipe.

Bought everything from the place on welshpool rd. I will be trying Safale pink.

Hi,

Well sort of forgot about my homebrew. It has been sitting in the fermentor for some...going to guess here...couple of months.

Questions are

1 Can I drink it straight from the fermentor?
2 If not can I still bottle it?

Advice greatly received.

Being winter it should be OK still.You can drink it as is but it will be flat.It needs the second fermentation in the bottle to carbonate,or to be kegged and the Co2 added via gas bottle as a few of us do.

I would say it's going to taste like dog food. There's a reason why you seperate the yeast and the beer when it's finished its business

I left one in the barrel for two weeks and it tasted like sweaty feet, still drank it all though

Ben, whats the latest on the homebrew front ? been experimenting ?
