And that means I can brew again. Just gets too hot here to brew in the summer.
So I have about 6 batches of extract 1 partial under my belt but I have a few questions.
I just made my first apflewein and its in my bucket but its not bubbeling up. I looked at it and it looks pretty its got bubbles on it but I haven't seen the airlock move. It has been sitting there for almost 48 hours @ about 70 degrees.
And my other question was about some of the older brews from this spring. I had a batch of stout that went from flat to carbed over a period of a few months but then when it started tasting good it quickly got a bad alcohol taste to it. I ended up throwing the last few bottles out. Same thing happened with another batch I made this spring. It was tasting great then it got this off flavor and it wasn't drinkable. I am wondering if the ambient temp got too hot for the bottled beer? I did let them sit in their boxes for a while before I cooled them off.
Thanks
