This brew is the first time I’ve dry hopped so it might just be my mind trying to find issues 🤭. Fingers crossed you don’t get any explosions; I started batch priming after I had one!
Just thought I’d post an update on the beer I bottled about 3 weeks ago. It’s been bottle conditioning since then and there appears t be something on the surface in the bottles. I’m unsure if it an infection or just yeast. When you move the bottle some of the bits sink. I swirled on of them the...
I’m reusing glass beer bottles ( not a fan of plastic) but I will do a check in a week to see if it’s carbonated and keep an eye out for any surface growth. Any idea what the growth might be? I have a serious penicillin allergy so if there’s any chance I may leave the tasting to my OH.

I’ve pass on all the information and see what he decides. Personally at this stage I would be inclined to wait and see. From the little bit of research I’ve done on raw ale brewing it sounds very similar.

My friend decided he would try to brew a batch of beer. He used a tin of extract (sorry I forget which one) dry malt extract and...
I think you may have found something worth exploring. I have been using washing up liquid and doing a double rinse on my bottles and equipment. I’ve ordered some brewing cleaner and might do a small batch to test the theory.
Thanks for the advice. I think I cleaned everything carefully and also left the bottles to condition for 4 weeks before starting to try opening them.
Thanks for the reply. The room my fermenter is in ranges from 18-20C so I put the higher figure in the BF calculator.
