Moor beer Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hello Paul, I have bottled two brews two weeks ago put them in a fridge with light to maintain to temp around 18-24c for the second fermentation all the stubbies now have sediment like snow flakes floating in them . I have opened one it seems ok with taste and smell and the sediment seems to settle to the bottom :?: moorbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moor beer Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Sorry Paul, The first brew was from a coopers kit , Lager can, 1 kg dextros , 2 x 7g coopers yeasts ( l had extra yeast in fridge and date was ok ) and put 7 ml modiferm in . It finsihed brewing after 7 -8 days then l cold conditioned it it for 6 weeks at 4 c then bottled . OG 1036 FG 1006 The second was a Brewcraft Munich lager wich l added Brewcraft #40 ( 1kg ) to make Crown lager using 2 x saflager yeast at 14 c for 14 days then bottled the same time as the first brew , OG 1038 FG 1010 All stubbies are washed after use Coopers bottle wash and sanitised with Brewshield sanitiser before bottling Thanks moorbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 If you are saying that both brews are displaying the same syptoms then I suggest you look at your processes rather than the yeast. The yeast used in the first brew (gold sachet with no letter following the inkjetted batch code) is an ale strain while the yeast for the second is a lager. What does #40 contain? I am not across all the opposition's products. Was the modiferm thing a recommendation from the brewshop? If so, I think 1006 is too high (you should be expecting an extended fermentation, FG = 1000 or less) which may result in overcarbonation and exploding bottles - hope you bottled into PET :wink: If they taste and smell okay, keep drinking them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
