Canadian Eh!L Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hey All, I have a re-culture Cooper's commercial yeast bottled but it won't carb up. I have it in the brewery at an ambient temerature of 15-16C. I know this is below the recommended temperture but I find all my other brews carb up after about 3 weeks. Could it be too cold or what?

Gash Slugg Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well guessing it isn't a lager???? I'd bump it up. Bottle carbing temp isn't nearly as important as the brewing temp, as in keeping low, there is nothing wrong with going into the low 20s. I don't brew lagers, and haven't re-cultured a Coopers yeast for many years, I was told that it was a different yeast used for bottling so I never did it again, this could of changed now??? But Ales don't mind being bumped up in the carb stage at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Slugg Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Just a bit of extra info. All brews benefit after the majority of fermentation is over, maybe a week, of the fermenter being warmed up a just few degrees it helps the yeast stay active and finish eating up all those yummy sugars. Then after a few more days you can cold crash if your into that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I would be ramping the temp up a little. What might be ok sometimes may not be other times. Get them up then try again in a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It may not be Chad, but I'd be doing this first then worry about it if still not carbed. I'm betting it would be fine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
