Yes yes, I know that the influence on the flavor is 0 or close to it, the only initial objective of my question was to know if it could be reduced for aesthetic reasons but in truth it is not something that bothers me much. What's more, it's only in the bottle, because as I said before, when I...

I generally leave it in the fermenter for 3-4 weeks (depending on the density) and after bottling I wait another 3 weeks before opening it. After these 3 weeks, I always leave it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days and the vast majority of the sediment remains at the bottom of the bottle until at...

Thanks for the answer (and the brevity) fluketamer

Hi, I'm new to beer production (I started at the beginning of the year) and I would like to know if you can help me with a matter. I bottle and do priming and then, as expected, precipitates settle at the bottom of the bottle (possibly yeasts) the question is that I would like to know if it is...

Hi, so to update once again, I bottled it today (21L) with the final density 1.004 . It had an "interesting" color (I'll take a photo but that's what I was expecting), the smell was quite pleasant and I'll be back here in about 3 weeks to report on the flavor.

Boas, Venho aqui atualizar o tópico (apesar de não haver adesão, quero acreditar que um dia isto vai ser útil para alguém). Fiz no passado sábado cerca de 22,5L desta receita (mudei apenas a levedura para uma Mangrove jack M41), no entanto e não sei bem porque a densidade deu muito abaixo do...

I just want to inform you that I opened two bottles and that apparently the drosophila are just on the outside (as you said), the beer was great and there was no trace of "contamination" of any kind. Thank you all for your help

Hello, I just came to let you know that today I opened two of the bottles (I put them in the fridge yesterday) and they are great both in terms of aroma and flavor, so it was probably nothing major and as you said, they were just sediments that precipitated on the walls. In any case, thank you...

Great, I feel much calmer knowing that it happened to you too and that there was no problem. Oh, okay. I knew that acetic bacteria had many origins, but I thought that in the case of beer, the origin was mainly due to drosophila, but in that case better. Thank you

I don't know when I'll be with the person who told me but I'll try to remember to ask him about it and then I'll come here and give the answer. I also thought it was normal since the brewing kit I bought the first time, the manual (in the bottling part) had a sentence about leaving the bottles...

Thank you for the warning!!! The most certain thing is that the flies won't harm my next batch since they are where I store the bottles, the "manufacturing" process and the bottling I do elsewhere, so I should be more or less safe... Anyway, I'm going to prevent them and get rid of them as...

I hope that's all it is, the way the sediment settled, but I'll be careful when I open them They told me that 1 week turned upside down and I decided to try it, to be honest I don't know to what extent it can influence the beer but if I had to take a chance I would say it's for the area of...

I had the idea that drosophilas were vectors of acetic bacteria, but apparently that was a wrong idea, thankfully Yes, the bottles are completely closed (with caps) Thank you for your help and I hope you're right (I don't doubt you) and that it's really just traces of beer on the outside of...

Hi, I'm a newbie so the answer to my question may be obvious but for the sake of conscience I'll leave the question here anyway... 😅 I have some bottles finishing their second fermentation (priming) and today I remembered to take a look at them and noticed that I had some friends there...

By the way, I don't know if it has any influence but I would like to say that when I bottled I left the bottles all upside down for 1 week and then put them upright (something I was told to do)
