Delaying 2nd fermentation

Post by gullarm » Wed Aug 20, 2008 9:39 pm

I have a problem in my house, mainly my other half is sick of all the bottles lying around in the kitchen.

At any one go I have 2 - 3 brews on the go, and having recently bottled some coopers lager last week she flipped.

Can the bottles be moved to my shed straight after bottling but leave 4-6 in the house to ensure they are primed before swapping them for another 4-6 from the shed. It may take a long time but it will keep the missus happy.

Will the yeast be ok and kick back in when returned to the warmth. Or can they be primed in my shed but at a much slower rate, it is kinda coldish now.

Bloody women!

You not got an under-stair cupboard or spare room you could put them in?

The house is chock full of stuff ( well my lady doesnt like cluttter ), the shed has my motoribike in as well as 2 kings kegs and around 30 bottles of beer.

I tried hiding one of the kegs in my daughters bedroom but the other half found it and was not too happy.

Just need a place to prime the beer.

No reason why the yeast shouldnt kick back in when moved back ino the warm.You may need to shake the bottles gently to resuspend the yeast though!

Sounds like you need a talk with SWMBO. :? If it's only for a few days, surely a solution can be found.
She's a right to want a tidy house, but you have a right to utilize the living space too. Sounds like you need a 2nd shed.... where ALL the Brewing can be done.
