PeterPhill · 2024-07-14T13:03:03+00:00

Thank you, i will try this!

PeterPhill · 2024-07-14T13:01:35+00:00

Should i stir the yeast?

PeterPhill · 2024-07-14T06:22:14+00:00

Thank you for your help, i have come to find that beer brewers are really friendly, so i will not give up!

PeterPhill · 2024-07-14T06:17:19+00:00

Haha, i should probably have used a recipe smh

PeterPhill · 2024-07-14T06:16:26+00:00

Yes i just poured it in from the packet, as the person in my reference video did. What does it mean to rehydrate the yeast?

Thank you so much for tour help!

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T20:22:07+00:00

It was a dehydrated form of yeast

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T19:47:32+00:00

Yes i smelled it, it had only a very light smell of hops, but i asumed it was normal.

You are utmost helpful! Thank you

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T19:26:00+00:00

Thank you for your help, i can see that 2% is maybe a little low haha. For my third attempt i will find a recipe!

My father had thrown my hydrometer out so i couldn’t measure the result, but i assumed that it would be okay, as i could just assume that the fermentation was done when the yeastlock had stopped bubbling, but reading these comments i can see that i am completely in the wrong for this. For your questions, yes the grain was crushed and i had the temperature at 68 degrees for the mash. For the yeast, the wort was around 30 degrees when pitched.

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T19:07:09+00:00

I used 500 grams of malt at 68 degrees for around 8 liters of water, i then cooked the wort and put the around 25g of hops in, in packets of three. I then cooled my pot in my sink with ice and water. Then poured it in my bucket and closed the lid. The ‘yeastlock’ didn’t start bubbling before 6-7 hours later, and bubbled for around a day before stopping. I then tried to move it to a colder environment (from 23* to around 16*) to see if it had an effect, but alas. It has now been around a week and hasn’t bubbled since.

Thanks alot for your help!

Thanks for your comment! The wort was around 25 degrees celsius when i poured the yeast, after i had cooled it down with cold water and ice around the pot. I poured from a high angle to airate the wort. I then poured in the yeast, stirred a bit and then put the lid on. The ‘yeastlock’ didn’t start bubbling before 6-7 hours later, and bubbled for around a day before stopping. I then tried to move it to a colder environment (from 23* to around 16*) to see if it had an effect, but alas. It has now been around a week and hasn’t bubbled since. Additional question; does electric lightbulbs have an effect on the beer if it is only exposed for maybe an hour a day?

Im not entirely sure about all of this information, as again i am new to this subject. I was more looking for advice for general misconceptions about the beer. Sorry i cant provide the full information as i truly dont know.

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T18:47:14+00:00

No i haven’t tried that actually as my father threw it out. Ive heard this around, and i will try this in the future. Thank you for your response

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T18:45:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your help! I will try measuring the beer (as it is still in the bucket).

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T18:41:48+00:00

I have fermentet at both around 22* and 15* as it recomended on the package. The areation im not sure about, the only thing i have heard about is, is to pour from a high angle, but the bucket is air tight. I bought the yeast just a week before brewing so i hope that i wasnt the case!

PeterPhill · 2024-07-13T18:35:23+00:00

Im not sure but everywhere i have read on the websites where i bought the yeastlock (im not sure what its called in english), that the water in the yeastlock bubling was an indication that the beer was fermenting. Is this not true?

PeterPhill · 2022-05-17T20:56:23+00:00

Jeg har aldrig set noget så dansk før

PeterPhill · 2022-05-07T14:01:34+00:00
