My mum just put her head round the door at 5:10. Pretty sure she thought I was watching porn.

Great video, and the point is well taken, however........your pour is much too aggressive. You end up with half a glass of foam, even on day 31, and with a cold beer. You should be shooting for a 2 finger head maximum. Keep the glass angled longer and only pour down the middle at the end of the pour...just my 2 cents.

excellent demonstration on bottle conditioning...i remember my first ever brew 40 pints...most were drunk in the first two weeks...the very last few were6 wks old and the best....wish i had waited that bit longer...now my impatience never gets the better of me..this vid should be shown to all home brew noobs to educate them and show the stages of bottle conditioning...excellent video!

this vid is really great man. you really help show why its important to give the beer the time it needs and the process in phases. 2 thumbs up... more brewers should watch this

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!

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