Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 >How long after your secondary brew is it ready to consume. It's totally up to you. It depends on how fizzy you want it to be, how warm the room is, what amount of free sugar was left in the brew when bottled, whether there are additions to the bottles, etc. >I second brewed several grolsch bottles of brew (my favorite size) last >Wednesday.. (secondary brews in larger bottles taste flat to me) > >I'm asking because I haven't brewed in a couple months, just let the >scoby's grow. And now I am down to a couple bottles that and too vinegary >for me... If it's been a week, that's likely to be as much time as is needed to get fizz (test it and see), and the bottles are best refrigerated or placed in a cold, protected pantry once they've achieved fizz if you're not drinking them right away. Glass bottle explosions are a worry if the fizz continues to build up beyond a certain point and the bottles aren't kept cold/cool. >I have another batch started to be bottled next week and will be brewing >them with lemon (which I like) for the time being and a couple with >orange peels and papaya testing purposes.. > >Just wondering because sure would like to get started on the lemony ones... Again, it's really up to you, it's a matter of taste and it is an art. When it tastes right, it's right. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J. Muste Quote
