Bottle it anyway- you never know. But I'd say you probably got something funky going on and will have to pitch it. Very few things can be fixed with "time".If it's super dry, or high alcohol then yes- that can mellow in the bottle. a Buttery flavor from diacetyl could also be "cleaned up" by the reactivation of the yeast, but most likely diacetyl ruined it.If it tasted like a swamp, or mold, or just funky- pitch it.Lesson learned, be more sterile next time and keep it in the right temperatures.

I got it on sale as a display model from Sears. It's a Kenmore elite mini fridge 4.9 cu/ft model. Sometimes it goes under the name Sanyo, they are practically identical. I just took a measuring tape to the appliance stores with me, but I'm a frugal shopper and just went for the best deal I could find.

please i need help, this is my first attempt at brewing, my beer has just finished fermenting and i'm ready to bottle it, the thing is it tastes pritty nasty, is this normal will bottleing with the sugar in the bottle sought it out?

To compare all grain recipes to extract, you really need a tool like ProMash- which is about $100 computer program. (there is an online version if you google "beercalculus") If you're not so concerned with exact substitutions, then just look for recipes that have already been calculated for you.I used to care how much alcohol was in my beer, but then I realized that most recipes were more then adequate- so I stopped paying so much attention. that's the difference of homebrewing vs commercial.

By far one of the best videos on brewing beer I've seen thus far...

nice video! since you are using malt extract you are using less grain than in original recipe. 1) but how much less ? 2) do you try to hit some target alcohol content ? how you decide how much grain / malt extract you need to use in terms of getting alcohol content you want. thanks..

I like how they had the psychostick beer song at the end. The rest was pretty informative to

Yes. But plastic buckets work just as well, and you don't have to worry about them breaking. for a beginner I'd say stick with buckets. you won't taste the difference and they are much easier to work with... |
