My beers bottled at 4 to 6 days are never below 1.015 - has anybody monitored gravity during longer times in primary ? Or know of any research into this ?
yes I bottle in 4 to 6 days OG usually close to 1040 AG BIAB reading around I think I have a clue strike water is 73 to 74 next brew I will strike at 66 and heat back to 65 thanks all
That's not long enough.yes I bottle in 4 to 6 days OG usually close to 1040 AG BIAB reading around I think I have a clue strike water is 73 to 74 next brew I will strike at 66 and heat back to 65 thanks all
+1 on that.That's not long enough.
Just because you've reached f g doesn't mean the yeast is done. It needs time to reabsorb fermentation byproducts. And sometimes it takes longer to get the last few points.
....regular readers will know that I bottle into 2 or 3 one litre PET bottles that act as pressure gauges no problems in last 30 years.......
My gravity on beers falls some times down to 1000 or even lower in just 10 days
My quickest brew was my last. 21 litres with a CML saison yeast I had had in my fridge for a year and although still well in date I decided I needed to use it. OG 1.042 almost fully fermented out and clearing in day 2, kept at about 21*C. At day 4 it was 1.008 and I racked off, and it was almost clear and 1.006 when I bottled 5 days later. But for me that is exceptional.How do you guys get things to ferment so quickly? Most of my brews are at least 14 days often 18-21 days, fermented at 20C typically. I'd never consider bottling on days 4-6.
