Does the bottle colour make a difference? I don't like using brown bottles i think its hard to see the sediment when pouring... is there a reason most suppliers sell brown bottles ???
Yes it's a vile taste.Whats skunking ?? Does this effect the quality ??
Yes, just keep them in the dark. Storing them in a cardboard box with a lid will do.So i had swing top bottles back in 2017 which where clear now I have clear plalstic ones what i can do to keep them dark.... will a cupboard do ???
I read before that as soon as the sediment moves then you are supposed to stop pouring... also i dont have kitchen cabinet lights just a big light hahaI pour from bottles under the kitchen cabinet light, as I pour the last third slowly I can easily spot when the sediment is in the neck f the bottle and stop pouring
Yes I do a couple of bottles in clear. See how it's clearing and check the colour.I always doa bottle or two a batch in clear.. They always turn out just fine just lilke you say keep them in the dark.. I throw towels over my bottles anyway
It is handy to see if a bottle has cleared
The trick is not have any sediment other than a film of yeast on the bottom of the bottle, I can all but empty a bottle without getting anything in the glass other than beer.I read before that as soon as the sediment moves then you are supposed to stop pouring... also i dont have kitchen cabinet lights just a big light haha
Now i have only had 2 brews previously and one was flatter than a pint of water, the second one was brilliant compared to the first but still had noticeable sediment in every bottle. I cant remember the process i used when i transferred to bottles but this time i will be using a tap and a bottling wand so hopefully that will cut down the sediment.The trick is not have any sediment other than a film of yeast on the bottom of the bottle, I can all but empty a bottle without getting anything in the glass other than beer.
I've never experiened it, but I don't think my sense of smell is great. Also, my beer has been kept out of bright sunlight. As for it being hard to see the sediment when pouring...you just need practice. Then you'll justDoes the bottle colour make a difference?
