I always used to squeeze the bottle until the beer is right to the top of the neck to get rid of any air, then hold it 'til I fit the cap. That way there's only CO2 in the headspace after secondary fermentation. Also best to store the bottles in a dark place. Even the brown bottles will get light struck. They just take longer.
Thanks lads, my remote video brewing with daughter at university me using grainfather, her using basic beer kit buckets (to date) as baby step learning curve, this video gives her a wider perspective in a hobby which she has to keep compact in order to pack away each year, she's at home right now so am giving her lessons across the board, my explanations suck, yours are concise, ..bottling is a no go in her uni digs so sodastream dispensing route taken, ...thanks for the Keeping It Simple approach!
Pressure Fermenting and serving from something like a keg king junior or chubby is a game changer for having no space especially as you can serve a decent amount of beer from the natural co2 created.
@@Jaystars Agreed, it is merely a university dorm room space, thus she needs the newish lightweight oxebar kegs which she can hang from a string bag & hook when not in use, you "brew with what you can". nobody bats an eye if you have a sodastream type & size gas cylinder, they get a bit funny if it is much bigger
This is exactly how I started, it’s an addictive hobby. Before you know it your experimenting with hops, different yeast, some BIAB with all the great malted grains you can now easily get hold of. Beer making is fantastic and so is enjoying the fruits of your labour. I’ve got a brew on the go that I’m bottling off today. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed, the guys at Malt Miller have everything you need👍
Very helpful video! Thanks! I just want ot ask why did you just left the yast on the top of the foam? Wouldn't stiring the whole mixture, with the yast, fasten the fermentation process?
There's no need, the yeast re-hydrates as it passes through the foam and the foam will subside. Stirring only brings in another chance for possible infection of the wort
Hi guys enjoying the channel. Recently got into homebrewing, on my 3rd go now. Have a question though, I bought "Morgans Extra Pale Malt Extract 1.5kg" to go with a morgans english ale kit, does this malt extract replace the brew enhancer I used on the last two runs, or is it supposed to be used in addition to enhancer?
You could certainly use this to replace the brew enhancer and it will result in a much better end result than using sugar, or potentially the brew enhancer.
@@themaltmiller8438It worked well! I bought one of your brew buckets. It's great. I'm experimenting with a two can coopers ale brew, and a double spray malt lager brew at the moment.

Great, love this comment! Very helpful! We have done the squeezing the bottle thing before and it works a treat!

Pyt 5lt to much water in the mix can I save it ?
You can't remove the water but you will still have beer - just at a lower ABV
Do you sell the trugs ? , all the ones in B&Q etc are far to big for purpose .
Not yet but they will be in stock soon
I only use half a can of malt per brew I find a full can way to much
