Going to do a galaxy/citra APA today. Wish I had more citra so I could put together a citra single hop but that isn't in the cards this go around. Just got a six pack of Zombie Dust (citra single hop) that is outstanding, need to figure out how to make it. |
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Hopefully tonight I will be able to keg 10 gallons of Kolsch and then it will lager it for at least a month. This weekend I will be starting a single hops experiment. Basically brewing the same 5 gallon batch with single hops and tasting the difference. I will start with citra and then move on to amarillo, falconer's flight, simcoe, and zythos. Trying to find a hop flaver I like in my pale ale recipe.

Brewing for the second time this weekend on my new system, I'll try to remember to upload pictures, but here's a preview/hint: three 55 gallon Blichmann Boilermakers :)

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
tasted my belgian stout tonight, it's been 13 days in the bottle.
still doesn't have a whole lot of carbonation. is there hope that it will continue to carbonate if i give it time, or did I need more sugar (I used the standard 5oz) flavor is not great but not awful. |
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
How long did it sit in primary/secondary? Sometimes the beers that spend a lot of time in bulk aging take a longer time to carbonate.
I usually throw some s05 in beers that have sat for a while to get the carbonation finished up. It flocs out well and can handle the alcohol content of bigger beers. |
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
I think it was something like 2 weeks in primary, 4 weeks in secondary. ABV calculation came in around 9%
|
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
That isn't too long, but given the ABV the yeast might be a little slow to work on new sugar. I wouldn't worry about it. That said I get super impatient waiting for beer and wind up drinking most of mine before I should. I don't practice what I preach.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Yea, 13 days isn't really all that long. 5oz dextrose seems like a lot, so you should have no problems with getting it carbonated but give it a few more weeks at room temp.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
awesome - i can wait.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Question for the enlightened lager-ers:
How long will a lager yeast cake last in my primary fermenter, until I can pitch a new batch of wort on top of it? I just racked a maibock into the secondary last night, and plan to brew up an Imperial Oktoberfest (or something) next weekend. Hate to waste all that great yeast slurry (WLP 833,) so I sealed up the primary and put her back in the fermentation chamber--currently at 52dg but will be dropping slowly as I bring the maibock down. It should sit pretty well for a week or so, right? |

Goin' to see how our Belgian Dubble did in the first contest.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Bottled up my Maibock a week ago, Baltic Porter is resting nicely in secondary fermenter, and just racked my Belgian Tripel. Last year my maibock came out amazing. I am really hoping that it is as good this year. Waiting is always so hard!!!

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
black ipa to secondary. tastes pretty good! color could be a little bit blacker but it's pretty dark.
anyone else have a septic system and get paranoid about dumping trub in it? i've been throwing it outside before washing in the sink. |
