Time Lapse video of Fermentation, by Me!

[RighteousFire]

1 Packet of Nottingham in 5.25 gallons @ 1.048

Was still going strong after 4 days.

Please watch and leave comments!

Great job.

 

[RighteousFire]

Thanks!

I'm going to set up an experiment for the next one involving multiple carboys. One with dry yeast sprinkled directly on. One with dry yeast rehydrated per instructions. And one with dry yeast rehydrated and left to cool down by itself.

Thanks for the post.

I love it! That's very cool; something I'd like to try eventually.

I'm assuming you're doing the yeast experiment in response to the latest BYO/BB collaborative experiment request?

 

[RighteousFire]

Indeed I am. Since I have 2 months to do it. It gives me plenty of time.

 

[Chuginator]

I'm hoping to brew some porter tomorrow, doing the same!

 

[passedpawn]

I like! Thanks for doing that.

Interesting video (one of the few beer related ones that I actually was able to watch).

Did you have the light come on only when the image was taken?

 

[kevmo]

Awesome man! I want to make a time lapse from grain crush/stater to glass.

A modest suggestion: next time you do one, place a clock in frame. It's fun to see the progression in context of time.

Here's a time lapse a made a couple months ago. Carbing the beer right now.

 

[Chuginator]

That is damn cool!

 

[RighteousFire]

Samc,

The lights were on constantly. It's all indirect light, non fluorescent. Might be able to work that out. I'd have to do some research.

Kevmo,

I should have put a time stamp on the frames, but I didn't cuz I'm dumb.

Nice video! What camera/mode did you use? I used a webcam attached to my laptop.

Nice job gents! Pretty cool...

I borrowed a friend's Nikon D80 and used a free mac program called Sofortbild. I really wanted to get the fermentation on camera but since it wasn't my camera I was worried about condensation in the freezer. Did your camera stay dry?

Awesome vid and great song

How big is your carboy? 6 Gal? I was hoping to see some action in the blow off tube.

Very cool. That is one thing I miss fermenting in kegs is not being able to watch the show. Nice to see it happen in time lapse.

It seemed to. It's pretty humid here in NC so I tried to limit the opening to only a couple times a day.

Thanks!

Yeah, it's a 6 gal. Better Bottle. I thought it was going to get that excited as well but alas, no blow off.

Nice!
