Good video. Me and my friend just started homebrewing. We made a nut brown thats about done conditioning, and yesterday we bottled our first stout. These videos are good hands on information. Also to Tom Cook from sam adams does a video on making beer. Which is very helpful. Thanks a lot - Houli
Good news :) Yea my girlfriend and I just started brewing at home, we bottled our first batch of Amber Ale this past weekend and then I started fermenting a batch of Nut Brown Ale, I had to steep the grains before putting in the malt extract. Smelled great though, I hope it turns out good! The amber also smelled/looked awesome, how long do you recommend letting it condition before chilling and drinking? Thanks!
Funny, my first two batches were a pale ale and a nut brown,(Newcastle)...
I believe the rule of thumb is a minimum of two weeks in the bottle for complete pressurisation. My Brewmaster brother-in-law calls that a "green beer", because it is ready but not aged at all. GENERALLY beers such as we make are best consumed between 30 and 90 days of bottling. which is why my honey stout was bottled a month prior to St Pats, and I JUST about have time for one more batch, if i get on it right now...
Wow.. your vids are excellent. Please do more. I have a question about the sanitization while carboys and fermentation buckets are not in use. How long is too long to keep them this way. Have you ever had problems with evaporation residue?
If you are sure you are looking at long-term storage, keep them dry. Easier to wipe out a little dust than anything else. That being true, you can store them forever. IF you keep them wet, (and yes, I had a carboy with ring-around-the-collar something fierce!) seal them as best as possible. Hard water deposits can be scrubbed, gently, from plastic. or, removed from glass with CLR or "Lime-a-way", then recleaned and sanitized for use.
