  • @Gallagherfreak100

    Nice vid, but, I would like to add my two cents. You should take the temp of the wort, before pitching the yeast. If the wort is too warm, over 80 degrees, the fermentation will take off like crazy, and overflow into your air lock. Too cool, below about 70, and the fermentation will start very slowly, increasing the risk of contamination. Also, important, take a gravity reading when you think the brew is finished fermenting. Two days later, take another reading. If the gravity is unchanged, it is ready for bottling. This will eliminate the risk of exploding bottles.

    • @AvelarGabriel

      Mark DeWaal
      No, I think he meant 2 days, and it makes sense. Rory wants to make sure malt fermentation has stopped to ensure all that will be fermenting in the bottle is the dextrose/sugar. IF the reading of the hydrometer is the same after two days, fermentation has definitely stopped.

    The block light rays that tend to "skunk" beer better than green or clear bottles (think Heineken and/or Rolling Rock). It's also wise to store your beer out of direct sunlight regardless, but even indoor lights can after long-term exposure affect the taste of your beer.

    Great video. Can you "rack" the beer into different carboys to clear it up (like you do wine)? I've made many gallons of wine but thinking about making some beer. Just asking.

    • @johnbrandolini2915
      @johnbrandolini2915 6 лет назад +1

      When I rack my ale into my secondary fermenter I add 1/4 tsp of Knox unflavored gelatine dissolved in a 1/4 cup of scalding water (cooled of course). You should add it at the half way point to filling the carboy because the solution will be sticky and you don't want a clump of gelatine at the bottom of the carboy since that won't help clear the ale at all. That's enough gelatine to clear most of the proteins and suspended solids from 5 gallons of ale leaving enough active yeast to condition the ale. I've been doing this for decades and my ale is as clear as the commercial filtered varieties. Some books advise you to add the clarifying agent at bottling time; however, I've found that this works better since the sludge settles to the bottom of the carboy in a thick mass less likely to be picked up with a siphon.

    • @NorthernBrewerTV
      @NorthernBrewerTV  4 года назад

      I believe this is a five-gallon pot for partial volume boil extract brewing. If you are concern about the quality of your water, you could boil and cool first or buy spring or drinking water to top off. Here in Saint Paul (where the video was shot and NB is based) our water is great shape as-is so we just topped off with tap water.

  • @jnorman975
    @jnorman975 9 лет назад

    Can someone explain something to me? I'm confused as to when to add the extract exactly. At first I thought you were supposed to bring the water to a boil after steeping the specialty grains and then remove it from the heat source (so the water isn't boiling anymore) and then pour and stir the extract in the hot (but not boiling) water until it dissolved, and then return it to the burner and heat it until it boils. I'm now second guessing myself watching this video again. Is that right or no? And if it is correct how long are you supposed to leave the water boiling before removing it from the heat source and adding the extract?

    • @adrianperez4890
      @adrianperez4890 9 лет назад +1

      jnorman975 You dont boil the water when you steep. The water has to be between 150 and 170 degrees. You bring it to a rolling boil after you dissolve the extract

    • @NorthernBrewerTV
      @NorthernBrewerTV  2 года назад

      Back in the day, people felt really strongly about racking to a secondar fermenter after primary fermentation to help the beer mellow out and condition off of the original yeast cake. More recently it seems there's been a change in opinion and many people just do the primary fermentation and maybe cold-crash the fermenter to help force yeast and hops out of suspension, then bottle or keg. There is no wrong way. Some people just like skipping the step, saving the time, or eliminating the chance of oxidation that comes with racking beer.

    We don't suggest it. We suggest that beer be in the bottling bucket for as short a time as possible in general. Siphoning beer into a glass (or plastic) carboy is the best way to do a secondary fermentation.
