Setiment on bottom

[Wally4]

Is this normal sediment on bottom of fermented bucket after 3 weeks? Is my beer bad?

From that picture all looks fine. Just looks like the yeast and other assorted bits that have settled down. I'd say all is well.

The pic looks like a good batch of beer was just made. I usually try mine at 2 weeks but it is generally recommended on this forum to condition for 3 weeks at 70 degrees and then refridgerate for a few days longer prior to drinking.

Looks infected...please send me the batch for disposal:rockin: been wanting to be the first to say that

Looks perfect! I'd give it one to two weeks in the bottle.

Ok to keep on fridge for that time or no

You'll want to keep your bottles out of the fridge to allow the yeast to produce carbonation (cold temps will drop the yeast). After a few weeks, you can transfer them to the fridge for serving.

EDIT: I assumed you meant "in" the fridge. If you meant "on" the fridge (as you said), you should be OK, as long as the temperature isn't overly hot (e.g., garage).

I condition mine in the bottles for 3 weeks or more. 4-5 weeks is better. I also use o2 barrier caps to give them more aging time without oxidizing. And put them in covered boxes to keep the light from skunking them. Fridge for 5 days to get past chill haze,& compact the yeast trub more tightly on the bottom of the bottles.

Make sure they are in a dark place....light can harm the beer.....I will tell you to wait at least 2 weeks before you drink....but I am not gonna lie...I drank my first beer one week after I bottled on my first batch....I reasoned it as a learning experience...i want to see...smell and taste how the conditioning occurs...just know it will taste young and green...

Cheers
