    Is this mold and is my beer doomed?

    :D Need to try that after a few beers next time.

    Is this mold and is my beer doomed?

    I did siphon beer trough hop filter just in case (also because there are raspberry seeds on the beer) And I do like philly sour a lot :) Very simple single strain for making very sour beer. Been making a lot of goses with it as well. This was a first time I had such white spots. BTW, how long...

    Is this mold and is my beer doomed?

    Ok, bottled it, taste seemed to be as intended. So I guess it wasn't anything nasty. Maybe I slightly panicked as I never seen anything other than krausen on top of my fermenter.

    Is this mold and is my beer doomed?

    Is it normal? What it is in that case?

    Is this mold and is my beer doomed?

    I noticed today (bottling day) that there has been some white growing stuff on my philly sour raspberry sour beer. Those white things seem to be on the top of raspberries. Never had this thing happened before. Maybe this is because when i added oak chips as last addition, some air got into...

    Possible to get off flavors from bottle carbonization?

    It has already been in bottles for over 2 weeks now (and in room temperature). I think bottle fermentation was pretty much done already before 1st week (or whenever I popped 1st one). I also put several bottles into fridge and held day or few, but at least such a short time did not remove the...

    Possible to get off flavors from bottle carbonization?

    Firstly sorry for mixing up terms. But yeah meaning carbonating beer in bottles :) The taste before bottling was quiet clear and smooth, apricot and dry hops could be tasted pretty well. Now after bottling there is unpleasant mix of like strong alcohol and very yeasty (very bad tasting yeasty)...

    Possible to get off flavors from bottle carbonization?

    I was just wondering if bottle carbonization could give off flavors if held above yeast recommended range and how much effect in terms of off flavors it could have. Talking mostly reasonable room temperatures (20c/68f to 25c/77f), I have always pretty much bottle carbonized all my beers in room...

    Possible taste of sulphur and debugging what went wrong in witbier.

    Trying to debug what went wrong again with latest patch of wit bier: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/244064/kronenbourg-1664-blanc-klone Had same kind of unpleasant taste present with a light hefeweizen (wlp300) and tank7 clone (belle saison) I think this taste might be...

    Kölch with SafAle K-97 and lot of krausen still left in fermenter after 13 days

    Just update how it ended: I cold crashed and the whole foam/krausen disappeared immediately. Beer was quiet clear after 2 day cold crash. It was finished and tasted very good.

    Kölch with SafAle K-97 and lot of krausen still left in fermenter after 13 days

    If I would take reading, I would need to expose the beer for oxygen, no tap in fermenter. I'm very certain the fermentation is complete. I have done 40 patches of beers and based on the activity in airlock and rather lowish OG, and the given time, I could not see how this beer would be...

    Kölch with SafAle K-97 and lot of krausen still left in fermenter after 13 days

    I made already quiet lot of beers but never seen such high amount of krausen still left after 13 days. There has not been sign of any activity for like 5 days, but the foam/krausen looks like it would be in middle of fermentation (about 1-1.5cm & 0.4-0.6 inch thick). Is this something normal for...

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    Ok thank you all, I guess I'll get another type of bag then. Too bad I just ordered 2nd such bag, since my first one already has been used for like 30-40patches And probably at some point will get Tilt measurement tool too. And I will reduce the fineness of milling. Ill try to use the bucket...

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    I guess I will get one of those wifi temperature/gravity measure units then. Had a plan to get one for some time. Then I can see the graphs. I don't have a tap in my bucket and I don't want to let oxygen in by taking measurements.

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    I check also the surface of the fermenter (transparent) and see if there are still small foam patches forming. Once they disappear I consider it finished.

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    Thank you all for replies: Few responses: 1) I think mill and bag are ok, I have ground my grains fine on purpose since I lived in understanding it does not matter on BIAB. I can adjust my mill and make coarse. I think I will try it next time. 2) About Starsan > Sorry I used the wrong term, not...

    Consistently lower FG than expected

    You are correct on that co2 effect:) I assume you have also tested the hydrometer calibration is in place?
