I have my first batch bottled - 5 days now at an average of 78ish degrees. I took a bottle down- looked at it- looked amazing- see through- clear. Wrote on the cap so I could honor the moment and save my first cap- (1st test beer) and rechecked the brew- and it had some floating stuff in the bottle- the beer was swirling around a little when I moved it around.
I know you can expect some sediment- of course- its homebrew- but is what im seeing- the yeast riled up - re-attacking whatever sugar might be left in the bottle?
After 5 days - has the yeast finished up eating the sugar?
Is there enough pressure in that thing now to toss it in the fridge for 2-3 days and celebrate after a week?
What is the exact yeast process when its in the bottle- why condition for 2-3ish weeks? Besides- the age ol moniker- it gets better with age...
should I have a brew in 2 days or wait... its getting hard
