    Thanks a lot for a great TH-cam channel! The quality of your tips are outstanding 🙏 Does the same rules as you mention in the video apply when fermenting under pressure? Cloud you recomend a pressure range for different stages of the process? Thanks in advance 🙏

      Thank you so much ❤️ That really means a lot 😊 Ues, the same apply to pressure fermentation. I always set the pressure to 0,5 bar or 7 psi. Too much pressure stresses the yeast. But it will also create less esters and that’s why you can ferment at a little higher temp and get a little faster fermentation. But it’s always better to give it the proper time 😊 When fermentation slows down, you can add a little pressure, so it will carbonate naturally. Check out this guide on setting the right pressure according to temp: beerstories.dk/index.php/en/gudies/co2-table-for-carbonating-and-serving

      @@Beerstories Thx a lot for your Replay! As a new brewer it is much appriciated. Im fermenting my first beer at the moment. Hopefully it Will become a Oktoberfest festbier style lager. I use a farmzilla but was confused regarding the pressure. Some brewing channels recomend 5psi for 1-2days then rise to between 10-14psi intill the end. I started fermenting yesterday at 5psi but turned it upp to your recommendation. Env temperatur is about 18C. Will the 7 psi be enough to avoid bad flavours? Thanks again!

      @martinandersson248 Pressure ferment just lowers ester 😊 You can still create off flavors 😊 But yes, you have to adjust pressure according to temp to get the right carbonation. 12-14psi sounds right for some beers

    What is your view on yeast nutrients to stop a stuck fermentation?

    • @Beerstories
      @Beerstories  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use nutrition with high ABV beer. Yest nutrition, temp and yeast pitch rate is important to avoid a stuck fermentation. Adding enough yeast is just as important as nutrition 😊 Sometimes a shake can actually start it up againg, also 😊 You can also try to add new yeast…

    If there is still slow bubbling after 14 days in a second fermenter, and temp. was well controlled, and everything seemed to go well, can this bubbling be off gassing and not further fermenting?

    • @Beerstories

      It can just be off gassing especially if the temp is not 100% stable. But it's hard to say, when not knowing the cleaning process, brewing process fermentation etc...

      @@Beerstories I decided to bottle. FG seemed correct. Bottles are not pressuring as much or as fast as I hoped. I increased the temp nearer to the top of the yeasts range. The only thing I did that may not have been a good idea, was to rack to a clean fermenter, too soon. This stalled the fermentation for a day, but it then proceeded to bubble well for a couple days, then the very slow bubbling for over a week. I used 150g of dextrose to bottle a 23l batch, which should have been lots for a dark ale. Could have used 180g perhaps. There is CO2 in the bottle I tested early, but no head at all. Maybe after a week or two it will carbonate. Cheap Cooper's ale so no great loss, but I hope I do not have to open up the bottles to fix them.
