If concerned the yeast has worn out in the hi-octane brew, one technique to use is choose a high-quality dried yeast, hydrate it, and blend it with the beer in the bottling bucket.
There is a limited amount of sugar in the bottle. Introducing the fresh yeast will guarantee viable cells to consume the sugar and give the desired amount of CO 2 to the finished beer. If aging excessively long, for any style, you may need to add some yeast on packaging day. Carbonating beer in kegs is a different method. They have a much smaller outside surface area and head space relative to the volume compared to bottles. When priming a half barrel keg Therefore, consider this an experimental section of the narrative.
Read up, use references, and call on the experience in your home-brewery. If over-primed is left at ambient temperatures there could be beer that bursts in your mouth like pop-rocks, gushes from the bottle, or bursts the bottle.
Some prefer lots of bubbles. Brewing a golden ale, or light lager, we may be looking for that mass-produced lager effect. Once primed and if the yeast has any life in it, gas will form and be trapped in the beer. There is nowhere for it to go until we open the bottle. Some beers age well and are meant to age for months or years: the aforementioned strong beers as well as sour beers , like Lambics and Flemish Reds.
Especially in the sour beers , they will continue to off-gas over time, as wild yeast metabolizes on a deeper level than pure strains. Weiz-Ass Member. Okay - I'm pretty new. I have my first batch in bottles, and I just racked my second batch over tonight and added my dry hops - so far both batches taste great. My first batch I made with the help of a friend, and we didn't really do anything in the way of measurements.
This batch is a Mac n Jack clone, and according to my specific gravity readings - as of tonight, it's at 5. BUT - what MY question is - is what is "big beer"? Hjandersen Well-Known Member.

This is my first batch. Pre-bottle taste was good. I've tried a bottle every week. Here's my findings. Week 1: Taste good, poor carbonation expected Week 2: Didn't taste it Week 3: Plenty of carbonation, funny chemical like smell, funny taste.
Week 4: Still plenty of carbonation, funny chemical like smell, funny taste. The beer kind of smells like Star San, and I'm guessing that's the taste too. I used Star San to sanitize my bottles. I mixed 10 ml with 1 gallon of water. I left the bottles on the rack to drain for about 30 minutes before I started bottling. I did notice that some of the bottles still had bubbles in them, but everything I've read said Star San wont affect the taste. Any ideas what's going on?
I'm thinking of taking a bottle to the homebrew store to see if the guys there can tell me what's going on. Hopefully I can find answers here first. SliverXZennon said:. Did you follow the directions on the bottle? By my calculations you should only put about ml per gallon Best bet is to let it sit and maybe it will age out. Over 6ml and it's no longer safe as a no rinse.
Is the batch lost? I just bottled a second batch using the same conversion. Last time I take a recommendation from the "pros" at the homebrew shop.
A word of advice.. I'll properly get heat for this on HBT but this is one of the reasons I never use no-rinse as a "no-rinse".. I always rinse my bottles afterwards with boiling water.. It's clean and without chemicals As I see it we're exposed to enough artificial stuff as it is and there's really no need not to trust boiling water as a disinfectant - its been doing the job forever..

I did buy some Walmart buckets and a spigot or 2 and brewed some at a friends house, but he must have had mice because there was some beer missing from the buckets. This Star-San thread is interesting because I just used it for the first time. I used a spray bottle and a catch basin and caught the solution for later use. I usually use a no rinse from Mr. Beer but the Star-San seems easier. I have more in this thread but it goes way off topic so I will stop here and reroute my post to a more appropriate thread.
