Hi flars, Thanks for the info. So, after bottling, you condition at room temperature for 3 to 6 weeks. After that you don't chill for a couple of weeks to help maturation on the bottle? Regards, Rui

Hi guys, I cant figure out what is going on with my bottle fermentation. After a few batches I'm having a constant problem that seems to happen only after bottling, it tastes like yeast! Even after a few months... I've made a significant upgrade regarding the gear used: plate chiller and...

Hi, I will have to check with my local shop to see if they have Star-san. Thank you. :)

Hello guys, First of all, Happy New Year :) Sorry for the late reply but I was gathering a bunch of friends to test the off flavours and we came to the conclusion that the taste looks like cardboard - Oxidation. Regarding the cleaning, I was not using anything beside the ChemiPro Oxi. I...

Hello guys, For cleaning the bottles, I use Chemipro Oxi. Put hot water on a big pot, add the Oxi and then submerge 4 bottles each time. Let them fill, wait 2 min and then empty. I don't rinse on tap water since this product does not require it. After I drink the beer, I rinse the bottles...

The bottles are conditioned at 18ºC.

Hello all, Well, the frustration escalating quickly. A few weeks after bottling, the aroma and that weird taste came up again... This time I tried a Belgian Ale recipe with a Brewferm yeast and a also a new member, a Chill Plate cooler. After almost one month on the primary bucket, it was...

yeah and it reduces the mess in the apartment :)

Well, mine had 1.004 FG. :) Never had such a low result, but it was my first decent fermentation. Thank You for the tips ;)

Just one question: The final gravity was a little bellow of what I wanted and I believe it affected the beer body (correct?). Next time I ferment a batch, should I stop when the FG reaches my goal or should I wait until it stabilizes for some days?

Hello guys, This batch went wonderfully! :) The yeast aroma was gone and the right flavour was there! :) Thanks a lot for helping me out :ban: Now I can focus on how to improve the beers body :) Cheers, Rui

Hi all, Thank you for your valuable inputs. Always learning something :) I will definitely try this process on my next adventure and will update you guys on the result. Cheers, Rui

Hi Flars, Bellow are my answers :) "Do you pour the yeast that is in your bottles into the glass?" No, I leave about one finger of beer in the bottle. "Do you ferment in a bucket or something like pressure barrel? Do you have a second bucket, with a spigot, that you bottle from? Do you use a...

Hi guys, Thanks for the reply's. :) #GCPHomebrew I have a freezer with a STC-1000 setup. All the temp's are in range of the yeast instructions. Normally, I tend to go for the lower range values. The probe is fixed to the fermenter. The other side of the probe has a layer of an isolation...

Note: The first beer was a Wheat style but the second was a Wit, so both should have tasted different.

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with the quality of the beer. After making 2 different Wheat beers, there is a flavour who overtakes all other flavours and it is common in both. The first one I thought it could due the water quality. My tap water doesn't have the best flavour so, on the...

Jonathan_Marino, Thanks a lot for the time taken to make this tutorial :) I've made mine yesterday and its working fine! Cheers, Rui

I'm also in! :)

Thanks for your opinion. I will proceed with more tests to check the improvement for other bottles.

Hello everyone, I'm been told that a week after bottling the beer (when it has gas), its advised to store them on the fridge to let the beer improve even more. I've made a test with a couple of bottles of a "duvel" recipe where the fermentation went to high and the alcohol presence was...
