Acka Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 hi all, the re-activation recipe states putting the 6 beers( of cpa) upright in the fridge for a week, i understand that this is purely to get the floating yeast to the bottom of the bottle. so question 1. can i stand the beer upright not in the fridge for a week and then chuck in the fridge (upright) just prior to extracting the yeast?? basically we have a small fridge so the GF DOESNOT like much beer in there! i have a big esky that i use for social drinking sessions. let me know. cheers Acka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I do not see any reason why you can't do this,if Bilk came back to us here,he might have a more indepth answer but i'd just go ahead & do it.[lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acka Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 thanks mate, that exactly what i was thinking but just wanted to double check. i thought that perhaps the chilled beer seprated the heavier ingrediants faster??? im sure that the longies standing upright warm or chilled with still suffer from the law of gravity cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Acka. The refridgeration process will condense the sediment/yeast more thoroughly & hold it at the bottom of the bottle better when it comes to decant off the excess beer. There are a few blokes on this forum that are ruled hard by the ol' hairy lassoo! [tongue] Anthony. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easier that getting another missus. Anyway she deserved as much cause like Lord Eoin says she stuck by me during the drought [lol] . But I have done this process heaps of times. My tallies sit upright in the fridge for yonks, Anthony has a point about the refridgeration compacting the yeast, its a bit like cold crashing.. I reckon.
