weggl Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi all i've been missing in action the last 10 months. Ran out of room to store the brews. Gave up smoking and put on 10 kg, so went off the grog. Have not lost an oz. so decided to have a few of those wonderful brews that were now between 1 an 2 years old. guess what, all flat. When i say flat there is no head whatsoever, but some bubbles. What to do? Should I re sugar? Anybody know why beer that at 6 months had a good head but at 18months no head. Is muddy about? Maybe he may know as he has helped me out of some scrapes before. Maybe it is leaking bottles?? Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome back Weggl. I got no idea, but I got a sodastream for Xmas. Maybe that would help [lol] Glass crown seal? or PET? Crap lids mebbe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome back Weggl. I don't believe we've spoken, but I've had a fair cackle at some of your old posts mate.[lol] The only thing I can think of is leaking bottles. If they're PET I think that the gas can leech out with age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 PETs aren't the best for long term storage if that is what you used. As an experiment, add some sugar to a bottle, tighten the cap, give it a shake to disturb the sediment and keep it warm for a week or two. See if that works. Edit: Muddy is in Thailand at present and only logs in sporadically. Welcome back Warren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 A welcome return Weggl, You have been missed Dont worry about the extra weight man, I think Ive added a similar girth since you have been on hiatus. Bummer about the flat beers mate, most of my aged ones went the other way [crying] Worst comes to worst you could do a starte and re-intoduce some yeast / sugar and carb them again.. doesnt help you today though.. I dont spose you have any carbonator caps and gas? That would at least get you a coldie today..?? Anywhooo, welcome back He's back and he's bad They are flat and he's Mad [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's good to see you back with us Weggl![biggrin] and You've started a topic in the appropriate room - onya!![lol] If the beer tastes okay, apart from being flat, you could try blending 50:50 with a fizzy brew (commercial or your own).

Scottie Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks boys. Hairy, will try that, i have to be careful what i write because I keep getting sent to Sibera. Maybe Paul wont see this one!!! Muddies pet weggl Welcome back Weggl [happy] This is amazing I had a dream about you (Weggl) the other night [pinched]. I went to visit and find out for all the boys (& gals) what had happened. In the dream you said you had given up drinking, but you were of normal weight and still fitted into your budgie smugglers [lol] . I for one am looking forward to a new poem, I am sure after you read through some of the posts that you've missed you will find plenty of original material [biggrin] . Don't think I can help with the flat beer issue, I have the opposite problem with my Bushy Park Blondes, both over 42 weeks bottled and pour 2/3 beer 1/3 head. At 4 months they were pouring spot on.

Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome back Warren I opened a beer the other day that was 9 months old and the carbonation was good and this was in a PET. So I am unsure really what to do but the others have provided some great advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome back, Weggl. I think I read on here that if you are contemplating storing brews longer than 12 months you should use glass bottles. Someone had the idea that the PET bottles leached gas over time. I might have this wrong, so if anyone can refute this, happy to hear from them.

weggl Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 A note Thanks for the welcome boys, nice to know that you are missed Though I\u2019ve been off the beer can\u2019t say I ain\u2019t been pissed. This topic, Paul, now it is in the appropriate room And Hairy I may well get to write a new poem and very soon But as you see I\u2019ve learnt my lesson things in their rightful place If I were sent again to Siberia, would be a shame to show my face. Now the question of these bottles and the answer from PB2 I\u2019m wondering, he as a technical man, does he rely have a clue I thought he would have the answer the only advice he could lend Was mix it with some fizzy stuff make your own sweet blend Thanks Adam for the soda stream kind of you to lend Have you been conversing with PB about this fizzy blend? And Yob I\u2019m rather FAT and I\u2019m mad, about 500 bottles on the shelf Don\u2019t know if I have the courage to sample the lot myself? Phil thought we have not spoken you seem a reasonable bloke If your anything like Paul, then you can take a joke Scottie\u2019s having dreams about Weggl , Muddies pet Budgie Smugglers! Hope they were not wet Captain Yobbo gave advice that I sure will not refuse The only problem is it left me quite confused Greg he recommends that I use Bottles made of glass To collect 500 would be a pain in the you know were And so I thank you all for you support and good cheer Maybe I\u2019ll go back into production making Coopers Beer Paul you cant move this, this little thankful note You see it\u2019s not a poem, just the way I wrote Would I be ostracized if the grammar ain\u2019t up to scratch? Or if the topic and my spellin did not seem to match I know Paul you are a kind, gentle and thoughtful chap So please make allowance for my writing handicap.
