In the end, I mowed through most of the 23 litres of my first brew all by myself. Partly because I found it increasingly drinkable with each passing day, and secondly because I didn't have the confidence to hand it out at large (some was shared with a few selected friends). I got a few tips for a poor-man's air-con from a Facebook group and have held off doing batch 2 until I can put that together. Sadly, repeated tests confirmed that the average temperature in my house never drops below 28 degrees (which it only reaches in the wee hours of the morning on a rainy day). When Batch 2 is in the works, there will be blogs. Cheers Scruffy. In the end, I mowed through most of the 23 litres of my first brew all by myself.

You treat your first like an egg, the second like a tennis ball... dextrose does nothing to the flavour, warm fermenting temperatures may cause unwanted/volatile fusel oils and make it taste like bubble gum, or give you that bad 'home brew' taste of the early kits. fermenting warm can also cause the beer to go flat and lose its head quickly after you pour... A good ale yeast (Safale s-04 etc), can cope with higher temperatures and mostly tidies up after itself (it's not finished its work just cause it stops bubbling - it has to produce the CO2 when you bottle, and clears the cloudiness and smooths the harsh tastes as you leave it in the bottles to mature). Hope it works out - if the first bottle isn't bang on... put another brew on, and leave this brew to mature in a dark cupboard (it doesn't like light)... Good luck. Brews are like babies.

The bottles are all clear already and now only needs a bit of gas. Let me know when you're back, I see an evening of enjoying the delights of homebrew in your future.
