I have possibly an odd question. When you ferment the beer in the fermenter, theres carbonation going on, right? If you didn't add more sugar, too the bottles, would it still be somewhat carbonated, or would it be mostly flat?

[merddyn2002]

@eriklares90 mostly flat because all the co2 goes out the air lock.

@merddyn2002 hey i was fermenting in mr.beer kefggg but i didnt ut my lid on very tight kinda lose really and also befor fermentation had begun i opend the keg so am i srewed shood i dump this beer? also is there always gonna be little patricals in home beause there in the air? im freakin out please help me

[merddyn2002]

@cber8860 it's hard for me to tell without seeing it first hand but easiest way to tell is to take a small sample taste of your batch. if it tastes off then it's likely contaminated. If not you're probably good to go. The lid doesn't have to be on tight, in fact they make the lid so that it's not air right so the CO2 can escape. My guess is you're probably good to go :)

@merddyn2002 thank you so very much iv been so worried i hate to have to dump 15 dollars down the drain and do u know if tahts true that air partrical hat u cant see get into any thing you brew or cook

[merddyn2002]

@cber8860 ha.... wait till you have to dump a $100 batch down the drain. That will really make you cry. My mead batches cost between $100 and $150 depending on ingredients.

I'm afraid i don't understand "air particles". I mean i know there are particles in the air.... but if you're asking about floating particles in your beer from homebrew, yes. that will almost always be an issue. Best to let them settle and pour carefully so you don't stir up the sediment. I'm off to bed. gnight :)

[cber8860]

@merddyn2002 lol darn 100 smackers huh. yeah like particals you seen when u shine a flash light in the air at night. Im saying dow do u keep em u cant seem u cant taste em but there there oh this homebrewing is givving a worrie headack

[naughtydogbrewing]

@eriklares90 actually it would be flat because its allready fermented the sugar in the beer and thats why you add sugar when you bottle...i recommend using corn sugar (dextrose) regular sugar gives off an after taste

[elkriverharmonicas]

@kevjones93 Or you can drink it. Sediment won't hurt you, it's rich in B vitamins.

@eriklares90 Like he said, most of the CO2 goes out the air lock and most of the fermentation is done already. I think what you might be getting at is why there is a second step of adding the sugar. If you bottled it while it was still fermenting and bubbling, you could get a nice carbonated beer. Or you could get a flat beer. Or you could get a bottle bomb. You do the carbonation step separately so you can control the amount of carbonation.
