Is there a name for it?

[unionrdr]

Green beer

That way though, when you get pulled over, you can't deny drinking with a mere eucalyptus cough drop...

 

[Psylocide]

Inline fermented wort

Really though, it's beer. That's it.

According to the tour guides at Flying Dog brewery, it is called "cheerleader beer". Because it is flat and warm like all the beers the cheerleaders started to drink but abandoned after a frat party.

Pretty sure that's what we called Zima.

1. Wort is the liquid that you put into the fermenter.
2. Beer is the stuff you drink at the end of the entire journey.
3. So, what do you call the stuff just before you put it in the bottle or keg?

Arthur? Bit serially, is there a name more precise than beer, or perhaps green beer, for the not quite ready for prime time product?

Wort becomes beer as soon as the yeast start doing their job. So...like maybe ten minutes after pitching the yeast, tops.

Sure, "green beer" is a good term for beer that's not fully conditioned yet.

I think it is kind of funny that you're asking if there is a more complicated way to say something that is complicated enough. By the time you get your wort in the fermenter and add yeast, you should be happy that it's just "beer!"

 

[jmcquesten]

"flat" or "not ready yet, wait another 2 weeks" beer

It's flat, warm, fun to look at, but not much personality. If you tried to talk to one you'd probably regret it because it's pretty dumb and not much for conversation. The best thing you can do is wait for it to mature then take its top off and enjoy the experience. Don't fall too madly in love with this one... There's plenty of others out there.

Ha! This is a much better rationale behind the term "cheerleader beer". Should pass that one on to Flying Dog.

*** SNIGLET ALERT *** It seems we need a new word for this liquid. I propose:

Soontobeer - noun - liquid in post fermentation state awaiting final conditioning. Beer which has been fermented but not yet conditioned.
Use: This soontobeer should be ready and rockin' in about 4 weeks.
Alternate spelling, soontabeer.

Is the party to celebrate the coming of same called Soontoberfest?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

You don't drink straight from the fermenter.

C'mon, beer vocabulary can be incredibly complex. There has to be a better name than beer for the straight from the fermenter product.

maybe you don't drink straight from the fermenter...

 

[whovous]

Hmm, good point. I found myself sipping an awful lot of my latest brew straight from the fermenter. Using almost six ounces of hops per gallon can do strange things to you...

I would definitely go to a soontoberfest party. Can we haze people that call it septemberfest?

I pretty much have a soontoberfest celebration every time I take a gravity reading!
