Thanks Yooper. I have put 4 beers in the fridge just to gage how the carbination and head retention is changed. The beer tastes good to me right now even though it may seem a touch sweet still. I have never made this Irish Stout before and it is also my first batch ever brewed. I have...

I have a few beers in the fridge right now which will sit for a week just to compare how the carbination differs and head retention. I appreciate the advice NordeatBrewer77. NavyMarine1978

I assume than that the cellar storage would help with the co2 disolving? I have been making small batches, 2 gal to be exact and have been sampling the first batch as it has progressed. I am sure and know for a fact that I have drank a few green beers and may still be consuming the beer in a...

That would be 3 weeks at about 21 degrees Celcius. Should it be refridgerated at this time or simply cellared?

A general question about beer once bottled. Is it best to have the beer at room temp for a set amount of time (eg. 7-10 days) and than transfer to a cooler location such as my celler until I wish to enjoy one and refridgerate it or should they be left at room temperature until I wish to enjoy...

A general question about beer once it's bottled. Is it best to leave the beer at room temp and then refridgerate when I wish to crack one open or should they be transfered to a cooler location (ie. celler) after a set amount of time (eg. 7-10 days) and left there until I wish to refridgerate...

Thank you both NordeastBrewer77 and RM-MN. Since I am new to this and only have two batches under my belt, I have alot of questions. I hope with time that I will become as knowledgeable as both of you. Thank you again, NavyMarine1978

I love the idea of a separate refridgerator...the question is, will my wife. Thanks for the advice Hang Glider. Does beer taste different between being refridgerated for a couple of days compared to a week? Thank you, NavyMarine1978

I have been sampling the bottles as time progressed and noticed the changes taking place. Non of the change was so drastic as in the past two weeks and particularily the past week. Will there be time that the beer change becomes exponential compared to the rest of the time spent in the...

How long should an Oatmeal Stout bottle for? I assume that it will be 5+ weeks?

The last bottle which I opened a week ago at the 4 week mark was improving. It was still a bit sweet but the carbonating had increased. I will try one today at week 5 in the bottles to see the progression. What is the purpose of refridgerating for a week? Thanks,

I had two of the Irish Stout Pub Draughts today. Family was gathering after my father-in-law's funeral and I wanted to see where the Irish Stout stood. I chilled it and poured the first one like I would any other beer. Slightly more head than two weeks ago, but very little. The beer has some...

Thank you UnionRDR, This is the sort of advice that I am looking for so that I understand what I am looking at. Thank you everyone and keep the great advice coming in, NaveMarine1978

Thank you beerman. This is great to know. This batch has now fermented for two weeks and has been clearing up over the past week. It seemed to be done its active fermenting in the first 3-4 days. The bubbling became sporatic again this batch and has been giving a bubble every 2 mins at the...

Am I mistaken at what I am looking at? I had not noticed anything like this with my last batch of Irish Stout Pub Draught.

These are actual little round yeasts which looked the same as what I initially pitched and hydrated. I noticed that when I pitched the yeast, after I had sprinkled the package over the 2 cups of boiled wort, that there was dry, unsoaked yeast floating atop of the yeast foam. I stirred it all...

Has anyone here ever experienced undisolved yeast in the fermenter which has stuck to the walls due to the yeast foam layer? Is this a problem?

I put an Oatmeal Stout into the fermenter and feel that it is about ready for bottling. I have noticed a good amount of yeast stuck to the sides of the fermenter from where the yeast foam deposited it. Will the batch have had enough yeast without the yeast stuck to the sides of the fermenter...

Yes, I agree that my patience levels have been very low with the anticipation and excitement of opening up a good brew that I have made. I will learn patience and I will be much more at ease once I have opened up a home brew that was worth waiting for. Thanks everyone, NaveMarine1978

I definately appreciate all of the input and advice. I am recording all of the dates and times of when I am doing the different processes with hopes of being able to tweek the method after I have a result. Thanks again to everyone and please keep the suggestions coming in. Cheers...
