benken25 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hello all I brewed a euro lager a month or so ago using the lager yeast it fermented at around 12'c for about 2 1/2 weeks and then bottled. the instructions say leave at least 12 weeks befor drinking should the bottles be conditioned at a lower temp or still at above 18'c would this cause unwanted flavours in the beer? or the small amount of dextrose wont really matter. im brobably looking into it to muck[pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 lager yeast will still carbonate bottles at a lower temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benken25 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 yes but are there any ill effects form carbonating the bottle at higher temps say 20' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 No. It is only a small amount of carbonation required for bottles and most of the effects of high temps are generally at the beginning of fermenting in primary. However, I wouldn't store the finished product at high temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
