DaleB Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hey All, Just got a few questions, Ive been fermenting a Mexican Cervesa at 14-18c for 2 weeks, and checked it for the first time today, it tastes fine a little week but nothing bad, however the look is a bit weird for 2 weeks. The Beer is still very very cloudy, and there seem to be a lot of particles in the beer, Not the lime rinds either. I thought at this low temp and this amount of time, the beer would have cleared off alot. Any ideas, I gave it a bit of movement and put it away for another week, but and ideas? Recipe Coopers Mexican Cervesa 2 lime rinds 2 lime juices 1 x BE2 200G Dex Cascade Hops US-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearnage Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Does it smell and taste OK? What is the SG currently, and what was the OG? They are much more important than how it looks. You are fermenting in the lowest temp range US 05 is comfortable in, so following the hydrometer readings will be important, and if they don't drop you may need to warm things up a few degrees.

PB2 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's a bit hard to make it out from the pics but the area near the left handle looks a bit like mould?? Did you pasteurise the lime zest? Is the cascade addition just hop pellets dropped into the brew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleB Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Cheers for the quick replies OG: 1046 SG: 1011 It appears the fermentation is complete, but its the cloudiness and partilces that im concerned about. The green area is actually the Cascade Finishing Hops, and the lime was sanitized and then soaked in boiling hot water. It tasts fine, but very plain and no bad smells.

PB2 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sounds okay, then. The foam laying on the top is not unusual, particularly when fermenting in tiny volumes with ale yeast at low temp's.[cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleB Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 The main part im worried about is the cloudiness once its in the hydrometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
