Pretty sure that yummy sour was supposed to go me. Go ahead and pm me for my addy.

Well, DME is going to take longer than priming sugar for sure, but it sounds as if you attempted to carbonate at too low a temp.

In most cases (that I am aware of) you are supposed to let the temp raise into the 70s to aid in the carbonation process. After the brew is carbonated (testing a bottle after a week or so) then you can lower the temp again to stop the process.

Have you always carbonated at low temps or was this a first time lager?

I could be wrong, but I've never done it any other way.

Does anyone else have any insight?

Glad they all made it alright. The IBL and thr pils should be ready because i bottled from a keg. The rest are bottle conditioned so let the rest for a little. Also be careful opening they. They might be gushers. Not bad just open and pour quickly. Still getting used to bottling for brett.

I'll relay some info i got from crooked stave today. Force carb - do NOT count on bottle conditioning with Brett - too hard to predict. If you get some bottle conditioning, do be it, but bottle at the carb level you want.

Thats probably why they stay consistant. I had some early bottles from them and some where flat. Though people do bottle condition with brett and has not been an issue like JK but they wait till its right so it coule be when ever. There should still be bugs but they do not add any carb. Interesting.

Thanks for the info. Might force carb next brett/sour and dedicate a keg for it. Now i need a bottle gun.

Ive actually thought about buying a keg and equipment just for force carbing sours. I probably will eventually, just to take the guess work out of a beer thats already taken 12+ months to ferment.

I actually add us05 at bottling to carb so i have little control over it lol

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Thanks to a screw-up on my part and weather delays, my plan may come together tomorrow after all. Thirteen people from west coast to east coast; north coast to gulf coast will get delivered tomorrow!

 

[finsfan]

Dont forget central coast! Glad I took tomorrow off.

Nice OH representation! Warped wing is doing a nice job, and Hoppus is dynamite when fresh.

Was the rest of the care package smoked already?

Do you really need to ask "Superbowl" that question??

Dont be absurd! That would be ridiculous.

The lack of status updates from FedEx is going to drive me floccin' nuts today.

I bought that Tide in CA and it was completely flat. Hopefully yours had some carbonation.

Mine may be delayed. Left Lenexa last night and never made it an hour away to Topeka...

That no good haha

Maybe. Or just as likely they are trying to play catch-up and just moving boxes from truck to truck without scanning.

Really? I bought one in CO and it was fine. Have a couple more bottles.

My opinion is that it is better with some age.

Just had this delivered to my deskView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1425656515.104873.jpg
A little surprise box from mcbaumanerb. The hop Stinger was weeping a bit, but the level looks good still. Thanks Mark!

Yep. Still tasted good but the lack of carbonation hurt it. I've been lucky on commercials but lately been having some that are infected or no carbonation

You're off today, right? How about you start driving east and find this truck?! :cross:

 

[BGBC]
