time lapse carbonation

[SuperPauliet]

At 5:10 that is the sound of a man enjoying his homebrew lol! Nice video and great demonstration of the changes over time on homebrewed beer.

Nice vid. I have been having issues lately with partial carb and no head after sitting in primary 1 week, secondary 2 weeks, and conditioning 3 weeks, then conditioning another 3 weeks because initial conditioning temperature was too low (dropped below 18 celsius at times). then lagering (currently at 1 week stage).

Not sure whats going on. Could be dead yeast, could be the apricots i added. who knows. still tasty though. next time I plan to add a yeast culture at bottling time.

Thanks for the video. My first beer is in its primary. Its good to see how much the beer clears up through conditioning over time. I will definitley try to be maybe a little patient before cracking my first beer open. But I'm sure all first time brewers open a few a little to early. I will do it for educational purposes.!

Cheers

Thanks for the demonstration!  I just opened a bottle of my first batch after a week in the bottle, and wasn't too happy about the apple taste and light carbonation. The beer was in the primary for 7 days, and the secondary for 21 days.

great vid! first time brewer here, and doing an irish red. my first batch has been bottle-conditioning for 14 days now. i shared a batch with a friend. my friend refrigerated a bottle yesterday and cracked it open today. after 14 days, he says the flavor "is not bad", and it is somewhat carbonated and heady, it's still relatively flat and not tasting mature. his experience reminded me of your video. thanks!

[HippyCo]

"no need to waste a beer cuz it's flat." LOL

[eyechubcunt]

Even the worst commercial brewery maturate their beers, patience.

[walspur05]

Just invest in a keg kit, the only problem you'll have is what to do with all of your old bottles!

[conciergeman]

Its called demonstration, proving that you should be patient! at least 2-3 in primary, 2-3 in secondary if you choose, then at least 3 weeks in the bottle until complete conditioning!

[beaubicknese]

What are you doing bro?? Just wait awhile then chill the damn things. It's not hard at all

[vasvas2]

thank you !!! You 've just saved a batch of weizen going down the sink...

[LeJimster]

Your beer is very heady :-o

Also I noticed chill haze on day 31. On my first batch of beer I left it 6 weeks in cold storage after 2 weeks in a warm place carbonating, the first few beers I put in the fridge and had chill haze going on, but after a day or so they had cleared nicely.

Chill haze is only a problem if you are impatient ;)

[DarkSanctuaryBBS]

You could have saved yourself some trouble and chilled your beer to start with, which would force the C02 into suspension. Also, the pour is too aggressive. I've had fully carbed beer after 5 days (that was first chilled and poured properly).

@DarkSanctuaryBBS

You do not want to chill your beer until it is either: done carbonating, 2 days before you drink it, or if you added too much priming sugar and want to STOP the carbonating process. You can force carbonate in a keg.

[DarkSanctuaryBBS]

Correct. But that's not the matter at hand. His beer was obviously carbonated, he just hadn't allowed the C02 to dissolve into suspension (which would happen after a few days in the fridge). He made it apparent that he was just opening the bottles warm, hence the gushers. He only mentioned chilling the last bottle.

Listen at 4:01 and at 4:09 he mentioned putting one in the fridge to see " the difference it makes". Furthermore, the last bottle is the only one with chill haze.

[ssacehole]

your pouring the beer like a noob.

[campru1]

Isn't it 'Heady' from the angle you are pouring it into the glass?

[degowopguinea]

Sounds to me like you pour like naty icer. Beer head has another taste in itself plus he's testing the head determines the quality of carbonation. Get your facts straight noob.

[sausage4mash]

thats was interesting , shame camera didnt pick it up

[kevitra]

Thanks for "wasting" all of those beers to show what happens and why you should wait 21 days.

[robbosgtr39]

He didn't waste em. He just couldn't wait for them to finish! :-)

[degowopguinea]

@kevitra Who cares. If her brewed these, he did it with 4+ gallons so he's got a sh!t load of beer.

[kamuimusackie]

@degowopguinea

5+, 48+ bottlesish
