hot alcohol taste has started to dissipate after 3wks, its now drinkable.

st peters micro brewery has all you need to make your first batch with barrel. Other things to do is search under shopping on google for micro brewery, hope this helps.

the beer that has been primed twice tastes bitter and is just about drinkable (but not by me) i'm wondering its been 2weeks, is there a chance this beer could improve with time & iron out this unpleasant bitter taste????? The original 50 bottles of st peters ruby red are so good i would highly...

It depends what the secondary fermentor is? I would be concerned more with temp, if its beer then you want it warm for a few days then chilled for a few weeks.

I guess the question is how much of the priming sugar fermented out after five days in the barrel, i added less than half a teaspoon to each bottle as there would have been at least some of the first priming sugar in the beer. I tasted it (flat beer) as expected.

Thanks for the responses, will reprime and bottle 2day, i will post on how they compare to the fifty already done in about a month, so fingers crossed.

batch primed my ruby red, ended up with fifty bottles, 1/3 still left in barrel, my question is :-i wll not have any bottles until weekend, will i have to prime again? what impact will this have on my beer having sat in a barrel for a week and being primed for a second time!

go for it!

If i have to prime beer again, what affect will this have?

Batch primed st peters ruby red into a barrel then bottled about fifty, this left about a third in the barrel, will i have to put c02 in barrel straight away, or will the priming sugar take care of that, considering there's only a third left in the barrel?
