how long is the actual time of fermentation in this video?

[mw1nther]

@makemebreakme I think it was about 4 days. It was a while ago now.

I can't see the trub layer because there's a note at the bottom that says "For more movies, recipes, and a live discussion"

[mw1nther]

@threeseriesftw I moved it to the top, but as it turns out, you cant really see the trub anyway.

@meerkatlibrarian a great place to get bottles is your local recycling center.

@rappy90 it doesn't need to be in the dark, just no direct sunlight or fluorescent light, to avoid photochemical reactions of the hop compounds. This is to avoid getting 'skunkiness' (think heineken from a grocery store).

This is also why you should bottle your beer in brown bottles, as brown glass blocks the blue light wavelengths and ultraviolet that cause beer to become 'skunky'.

Where did you get the bottles?

[rappy90]

The instructions I been following told me to cover mine with a trash bag or keep it in a dark spot, basically out of light, does it really matter?

That is very neat. Especially watching the yeast go from slow and sleepy to "Weeeeee! Sugar!" and then back to ":::Yawn, I'm tired now." Kind of like kids I guess.

Cool! Currently fermenting a Checo Pilsner. Little excited as this is the first time I've broke away from a printed recipe and added 1lb of honey. Not sure what it's going to be like. I'm sure I'll drink it good or bad.lol was told 1lb is a good starting point... Small change on taste.
