Sediment?

Post by meikle » Tue Jul 03, 2007 1:50 pm

Hi,
Just made my second batch of beer from a kit but each time I bottle I get what looks like sediment at the bottom, is this common.
Thanks

Yes, it's just yeast...

With a little practice you'll should be able to get 95% of the beer out without disturbing it.

Meikle... strange nickname, I guess your from the North East....?

When you bottle your beer, if you use glucose (sometimes labeled in HBS as Brewing Sugar) then you will get much less sediment (I would say about 1/4 the amount at a rough guess).

I use the exact same quantity as I would when using sucrose (normal table sugar) - 1 tsp per pint.

YEP

i remember in england we used to call the wheat crops corn .

corn = maise = sweat corn = corn on the cobb
wheat = corn
barley = barly

hay = straw = corn sheaf = wheat sheaf , after the header or cobine goes over it.

corn starch = corn syrup = field dose 16
wheat starch = dextrose = corn sugar.
flaked maise = flaked dryed sweat corn .hench needs to be mashed with an acified or modified malt grade barley .

so you can see how it gets confusing. around the big blue lake. :lol:
