This has nothing to do bottle conditioning.

How many brews did you accomplish in 2020 ?
Marvin replied to Red devil 44's topic in DIY Brewing Blether
28 x 23 litres Between April and October, double batches left to brew for two weeks each. I'm glad some people have done more. -
Some Xmas fun, what was the first CD you bought ?
Marvin replied to Red devil 44's topic in Everything Else
My first simultaneous purchases were vinyl, Rolling Stones Some Girls and Joe Walsh But Seriously Folks. I don't listen to Joe much these days. I'd probably rate Some Girls the last great Stones album. I bought quite a lot of records but would tape someone else's where I could. -

Losing 20% of bottles due to no carbonation
Marvin replied to miguelakira's topic in DIY Brewing Blether
A thing to remember is a flat bottle can be reprimed, you don't have to throw it away, just add sugar and wait a couple of weeks. Some bottle openers are not kind to bottles, I don't like the common key ring sort. -
I was doing batch 123 & 124 today, taking the lids off a couple of dark ales and light malts. I gave this thread a thought for some reason, ah those silly newbs and the things they do. I used a dented can Dan gave me at click and collect, these are the last brews of the year for me so I thought it best to use it up. Any guesses what happened? Dropped the dented can in, not once but twice!

Harvested yeast cake Slurry for a Toucan stout?
Marvin replied to Potatoes's topic in DIY Brewing Blether
I thought it would be plenty for two batches. Did you use the fill to 19 litres and then top up after 3 days trick? I wonder if that is a hygiene risk, it seems to allow a path of beeriness from the germy world into the brew. -

Marvin replied to Potatoes's topic in DIY Brewing Blether
Probably more than enough unless you leave more beer in your slurry than I do. Half that would probably equate to more than two of the kit yeasts. -
That is interesting, it didn't seem to work online though.

Things are more expensive all over, at least the Dan Deals have picked up a bit. Dan Murphy Deals: Pale Ale and Enhancer 2 $20 Dark Ale and Enhancer 3 $18 English Bitter and 500g dry malt $20 I might get a few Dark Ale/E3s, not to use together though, unless in a toucan.

I don't think that one coopers yeast sachet is enough. 1kg dry malt = about 1.2kg liquid malt. The toucan stout uses stout + dark and both yeasts and optional dextrose.
