Jim's Beer Kit

Nice. Is that sun rising or setting in the background?

Hehe, there you go Wales...

Found this thread lurking in the archives, so decided to give the kit recipe a crack. It's only been in the bottle a week, but already looking and tasting pretty good. I'm expecting some improvement over the next couple of weeks, so thinking this will become a regular brew. Any other clone kit recip...

Hehe Wales - you've inspired me to pick up a few prawns for dinner tonight. I reckon they'd match quite well with the Murphy's...will post back a photo tonight!

Apologies gents, rookie error there...I think I may have been a bit hasty on the pour! Planning to have another taster tomorrow and will try to do better!

Well it's been a bit of a journey, but after 2 weeks in the bottle, my Murphy's clone is showing some promising signs. Carbonation levels are looking good and the flavour is pretty decent too, albeit a touch green. I've attached a photo of the first pour and looking forward to seeing how it matures ...

Well, thanks for all the advice and a quick update here...looks like repitching a yeast starter made using the SNS method has restarted a slow fermentation, dropping the SG down to 1027. I've controlled the temperature with a heat pad at 23 degrees and I think it's pretty much done now as there's no...

Thanks Eric and WallyBrew - Melbourne came out of our snap lockdown today, so I was able to nick down the local brew shop to pick up some extra supplies. Looking to kick of a starter tonight and pitch it into the brew as soon as it looks ready to go... @WallyBrew - thanks for confirming my suspicion...

Thanks Eric - the temperature range has been the natural temperature in the laundry where I brew, so I have popped it a bit nearer the radiator and gave it a bit of a stir this morning. Fingers crossed that it kicks back into life...If we were to assume a 75% attenuation rate from an OG of 1066, wou...

I've had some success with Bulk priming as I often have a mix of bottle sizes and want to aim for even carbonation. I also use one of the priming calculators and carbonation tables to help with volumes. There's a decent example on the Brewers Friend website

Newbie posting, so apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm brewing a Murphy's Stout clone and wanted to understand what sort of FG I should be aiming for. OG was 1066 and after a vigorous start to fermentation things have all but stopped at 1032. I'm thinking this is still on the high side, wonder...
