    OG vs Final Quality

    Hi guys, A general question: if I have a recipe that has as a refference value for OG of 1065 and I reach that, does it mean that I did well the mash step? Or nevertheless I've achieved the OG of the recipe I can have the off-flavors? Are both variables in relation with each other...

    Bottling or Waiting

    Hi guys, After almost onde month of bottle fermentation I tasted The beer and it was a fantastic surprise! Much better in consistency and flavor, with a nice foam and gas. Nevertheless I will wait a couple of weeks more to let The beer maturate! Thank you all for The help and we will keep in...

    Thank you guys... maybe I will not achieve 21ºc but I will try. I was thinking that I screwed up all the batch... Lets wake up the yeast!! :)

    Should I place the bottles in a warmer place and wait another 2 weeks?

    Bottling or Waiting

    I meant 12/8. My FG was 1012/1013 and it was not sweet. The temperature that I've put the bottles was between 12-15ºc. Relating to the priming sugar I didn't have a weighing meter so I had to use the sugar packages that say "5-7 grams", and then the maths for 20 litres. This kind of beer has a...

    Bottling or Waiting

    Hi guys, last monday I opened a bottle to taste the beer (one week bottled) and it tasted like ****. Very fruity and the flavors didn't mix in one together (at least my feeling). It seems that the beer doesn't have a solid "body" or "structure"...I don't know if I am being clear. Beyond that...

    Bottling or Waiting

    Hi guys... I had to bottle in sunday, because for the coming days, including weekends, I will not have so much time to do it. So, nothing as I expected. My syphon was not working properly, I was not able to use it. I've bottled directly from the bucket tap with a safety valve (to bottle from...

    Bottling or Waiting

    You were clear... maybe I wasn't clear! If I put the sugar directly in the bucket it will be in another clean and sterilized bucket, and then from the last one to the bottles. So, I have 2 weeks of fermentation and you are saying that its better to wait another week in order to clear the beer...

    Bottling or Waiting

    flars, I have the equipment with the picture attached. Sorry for my english, but some terms I don't get it! I was wondering in putting the sugar in each bottle and not directly in the bucket (because I wanted to let some wort another week fermenting), but maybe it makes no sense. Maybe it...

    Bottling or Waiting

    Hi guys, I´ve checked the gravity and it was 1012-1013, so what was expected. I will check again tomorrow and then if it remains the same I will bottle. Question: When I dilute the sugar in water, before puting in the botles, is it importante the temperature of the solution? Should I boil the...

    Hi again, before bottling...is it better to move the wort to another fermenter, in other to have less sediment on the bottles?

    Bottling or Waiting

    Anyone knows what kind of yeast has the Muntons Gold IPA kit? I am looking in internet but I can't find, and I throw away the package. I have fermentation temperatures varying from 18 (in the begining) and 20ºc. Is it acceptable?

    Bottling or Waiting

    I moved the fermenter to my warmer side of my house (about 20ºc, and constant). I have a fermentation temperature of 20ºc. I will let it for one week as you said, and then I will start with the experiments. Thank you guys for the tips.

    Thanks guys. Very usefull. I think that it will be interesting in doing some kind of design of experiments, bottling with different levels of fermentation and different quantity of sugar, in order to see wich one fits better to the desired taste.
