Best Extra Stout - Next Day

Posted by: Makebeer on 11/10/2011
Yesterday we put together the Best Extra Stout brew. We added the yeast to the wort around 5:00 PM. When we came in this morning, this is what we saw. Smells delicious!



The temperature of the brew is currently at 18 degrees Celcius. Or around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

So, How come I NEVER get a krausen like this. All I ever get is a "ring around the collar".. and some islands of foam in the middle. I keep my wort at 18-20*C.. usually closer to 18-19. Do you just sprinkle on the yeast or do you hydrate and build to a liter of it.. or what? Inquiring minds want to know.

"@max mcclain. The complete beer package that we sell that produces the highest alcohol percentage is the Complete Sparkling Ale package. The recipe about is also good one. You could also get the Australian Pale and use 1 can of unhopped light malt syrup and 500 grams of dextrose. Just to keep it simple." Read more ›

"@Bob I would force carbonate your beer instead of using the carbonation drops. How big is your keg? Standard Cornelius kegs are 5 gallons. This will leave about a gallon of extra beer to bottle. Use the carbonation drops in the bottles. If you want to naturally carb the beer in your keg, use about 1/4 cup of corn sugar (dextrose) boiled with a 1/4 cup of water. Add to keg first. Add the beer. Seal. Leave at room temperature for a week while the yeast produces CO2." Read more ›
