also, tasted a quick drip of the brew and was suprised at how nice it is.
No TCP flavours.

It means it's fermenting, hopefully it will get to 1006 or lower.
Thats good then, I was getting worried!
Thanks

Heres an interesting pic.
Is that the yeast growing in the bottom? Is that ok?

When that barrels full it'll weigh 23 kilos or thereabout, don't think that little wooden shelf will hold it. Glad your enjoying youre new hobby though, it's given me endless pleasure over the last 40 years or so.

Yeah!
That's a good thing
You should try some Turbo Cider, that stuff looks like a lava lamp in action!

That was one of my concerns, but it seems ok fine. Should have seen me try and lift it though!

What do you mean, will it come alive?

I think it may have stopped at 1010 or almost 1008.
Do you think I should wait a bit longer this is the 8th day of fermentation.
Still smells realy good but there are no bubbles at all any more.
Not sure if I should give it a slight mix.

What do you think this reading is?
Tasted the tester sample and it is rather nice, heres the colour of the brew.
Looks good eh?

Had a fixed reading for a few days now of 1009 so I decided to get the brew bottled.
Looks good.
