I am a beginner and i have to brew in secret while living with my grandparents

[littledaddy]

a simple fast way to separate yeast from fermented ale ?? i really hate the taste of yeast and i am brewing in scret i my bedroom... So i donnot have access to tools what so ever.. i barely have yeast, sugar, water and juice... It's all hidden in my bedroom... So anyone knows anyway how to separate yeast from booze ??

 

[unionrdr]

It should settle out by itself when fermentation is done.

 

[Singletrack]

I think Gary Oak has the answer to this one. Not me. Sorry.

 

[littledaddy]

yeah but the yeast stays at the bottom.. and when i move i it mixes with the booze... isnt there a way to just filter it

 

[podz]

You will need to build a centrifuge, son.

 

[unionrdr]

Use an auto siphon to draw it out of the fermenter into a bottling bucket. Or attach a bottling wand to the other end of the auto siphon to bottle it up. You can't just pour it into the bottles, or it'll oxidize & taste nasty.

 

[littledaddy]

lol... i don't think i could do that in my condition...

 

[Chadwick]

I'm rather curious as to what your recipe is. What did you mix together to ferment? What amounts of ingredients did you use? What is it fermenting inside of? Where did you get your yeast?

Please, this inquiring mind would love to know.

So does "Grandparents" mean BOP? And by BOP I mean Bureau of Prisons. Just to clarify.

And if that isn't the case then I have to ask... When do you turn 18?

This!

Lets not rule out a diatomaceous earth filter just yet.

 

[brew_ny]

didn't someone post not long ago that they used a carbon filter?

 

[watermelon83]

Just stand in the middle of your room, holding the fermenter in your hands. Face the lid toward you and the bottom toward the wall. Now, start spinning as fast as you can.....
voila!!! centrifuge

Or books. I heard after reading 2 books you're an expert.

But seriously, instead of hiding it, I would either find a friend to brew with or just buy some craft beer.

I am actually 24 but my grandparents are religious... so if they find out it's kind of a big deal... plus i live in a very conservative environment and alcohol is illegal.. to keep it short I live in Yemen and we have a war with saudi arabia... so we r living in war and everything is getting expensive and we have a shortage of supplies..

I feel for you, you can start a siphon with just a hose, keep the end well above the bottom as you start.
Stay safe!

Hmm of age or not if your grandparents dont approve of you brewing in their household you should respect that and not brew at all. Move.

 

[andrewmaixner]

I was going to suggest refrigeration (google: "cold crashing beer") but then I saw "yemen" and I have no idea how much access you have to a 1 degree C refrigerator. if you do... hold it at as close to freezing as possible for a day, and if you can add a little clear gelatin (also google this). Both will help the yeas settle, along with any other particulates.
Then siphon it off of the sediment into a new bottle.

 

[MaxStout]

Just curious: what consequences could your grandparents face if authorities discovered beer-making activities in their house? Bad news if they got in a jam over this.

 

[Chadwick]

Folks, if nothing else comes of this thread we should at least be reminded of how lucky we are to live where we live. I shudder to think of what could happen to the OP if he is discovered doing what he is doing by the wrong people.

My advice to the OP is too move out of that place and get someplace where people can feel free to do what they like without a threat of harm.

 

[Freddyj123]

Another thought would be if your grand parents don't want you brewing in their house, then either get their permission or move out?

Do you really want to disrespect them and yourself by hiding and being dishonest? What good can come of that?

Like reporters trying to film the police at a McDonalds in Ferguson and being taken to jail as a result?

Or having a non-WASP name and simply googling where to buy a crock pot then waking up with a SWAT team kicking down your door at 2 in the morning?

Or making laws that pubs can not exist within 400 feet of a church and then making damned sure that there is a church every 400 feet?

Don't be so judgemental.

Don't be judgmental of oppressive theocracies?

I believe it was me pointing out that the pot was calling the kettle black.

Sarcasm detector not working? :cross:

I don't know what pot you were referring to, in what country do they have a church every 400 feet? I live in the Bible Belt in the US and we don't have the that close together.

Reporters getting arrested? If you fight the cops, these things can happen. Those two reporters were arrested when they refused to leave an area that the cops were trying to secure. No charges were filed. We could have just shot them, like Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

And what country did the midnight jackbooted thug raid take place in?
