Scott1525228380 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Rather partial to either Authentic IPA or my ESB [love] because there so simple to brew and taste awesome! Anyway... brews usually get around 10 days in the primary FV (to help clearing) at a steady 21 deg thanks to my heating belt. Then bulk primed with 8g of Dex (not 9) per litre and into flip-top glass bottles. Now the question: I leave these at +18 deg for 2 weeks then if there's any left [devil] into my cold store which is around 5 - 10 deg C. What are the advantages / disadvantages of either reducing this intial bottling stage (the +18 bit) to 1 week or increasing to 3?

Muddy Waters Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 There are no disadvantages by extending the carbonation stage as you'll just be more certain of good carbonation but if you reduce it you risk not having adequate carbonation. EDIT: I probably used the word "carbonation" too many times in that sentence [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott1525228380 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks Muddy I will stick to the 2 weeks... My current batch of ESB might even make it to the cold store! [smile] After I posted I noticed the question had already been asked recently (Aging Temp by Chad) Guess I should check first [whistling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Don't worry about it Scott. It was interesting to see Muddy say he used the word "carbonation" too many times in a sentence then use it again in the next sentence[lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
