Now I'm going to wait and see how this one turns out, then I'll try it over time to see the evolution, and the next time I make a stout I'll put it in wood to compare (I want to try putting it in a barrel for a few months, instead of using shavings) But thanks for the tip, one day I'll let you...

1536 + 6,7 Belgian Tripel Ale + 5,5 Belgian Dark Strong Ale =1548,2

Today was the day to prepare my first Imperial Stout, now I have to wait and see what comes out of the fermenter 😁

Hello, yesterday was the day to open one of the bottles. I had a happy result, quite pleasant, it was clearly not a waste of time. I will attach a photo of the beer so you can see the color, the photo is not very noticeable but it is a dark brownish red. Despite being an old topic with little...

Yes yes, I know that the influence on the flavor is 0 or close to it, the only initial objective of my question was to know if it could be reduced for aesthetic reasons but in truth it is not something that bothers me much. What's more, it's only in the bottle, because as I said before, when I...

I generally leave it in the fermenter for 3-4 weeks (depending on the density) and after bottling I wait another 3 weeks before opening it. After these 3 weeks, I always leave it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days and the vast majority of the sediment remains at the bottom of the bottle until at...

Thanks for the answer (and the brevity) fluketamer

Hi, I'm new to beer production (I started at the beginning of the year) and I would like to know if you can help me with a matter. I bottle and do priming and then, as expected, precipitates settle at the bottom of the bottle (possibly yeasts) the question is that I would like to know if it is...

Hi, so to update once again, I bottled it today (21L) with the final density 1.004 . It had an "interesting" color (I'll take a photo but that's what I was expecting), the smell was quite pleasant and I'll be back here in about 3 weeks to report on the flavor.

Boas, Venho aqui atualizar o tópico (apesar de não haver adesão, quero acreditar que um dia isto vai ser útil para alguém). Fiz no passado sábado cerca de 22,5L desta receita (mudei apenas a levedura para uma Mangrove jack M41), no entanto e não sei bem porque a densidade deu muito abaixo do...

I just want to inform you that I opened two bottles and that apparently the drosophila are just on the outside (as you said), the beer was great and there was no trace of "contamination" of any kind. Thank you all for your help

Hello, I just came to let you know that today I opened two of the bottles (I put them in the fridge yesterday) and they are great both in terms of aroma and flavor, so it was probably nothing major and as you said, they were just sediments that precipitated on the walls. In any case, thank you...

Great, I feel much calmer knowing that it happened to you too and that there was no problem. Oh, okay. I knew that acetic bacteria had many origins, but I thought that in the case of beer, the origin was mainly due to drosophila, but in that case better. Thank you

I don't know when I'll be with the person who told me but I'll try to remember to ask him about it and then I'll come here and give the answer. I also thought it was normal since the brewing kit I bought the first time, the manual (in the bottling part) had a sentence about leaving the bottles...

Thank you for the warning!!! The most certain thing is that the flies won't harm my next batch since they are where I store the bottles, the "manufacturing" process and the bottling I do elsewhere, so I should be more or less safe... Anyway, I'm going to prevent them and get rid of them as...
