Hurry and beer: can it be a good combination?
Sometimes, life moves so fast that even what a pleasant hobby should be how to make beer feels like a marathon. But who said that you can’t enjoy a good birra without waiting forever? Here you will discover how to accelerate that magical process, from fermentation to carbonation.
The secrets of a rapid fermentation
It all starts with the type of yeast you choose. Opt for those yeasts that are like the rock stars of the beer world: High flocculation! This beautiful word describes how yeasts form lumps and settle faster at the bottom of your beer. So if you want a clear beer in less time, look for yeasts that do this work with agility.
Oxygenation: hidden segret
Do not underestimate the power of a little fresh air. Adding oxygen to your must is crucial to reduce waiting time before the yeast gets to work. You can stir manually, use an aquarium pump or even bottle oxygen. Give your yeasts the party they deserve!
The amount counts
When it comes to yeast, but it is not always better, but you have to be generous. Calculate the cells you need per milliliter to prevent your beer from having a slow beginning. A well -fed yeast will contribute to a fast fermentative process and minimize unwanted flavors.
And after fermenting?
Once the effervescence ceases and your beer reaches its final gravity, the next stop is to make sure it is as clear as water. As? With techniques such as ‘Cold Crashing’ or use of clarifying. We will break down these strategies.
COLD CRASHING: the cold as an ally
Lowering the temperature of your beer just above the freezing point can make wonders. This trick will help yeast and other sediments to settle quickly. However, if bottles, take care of your carbonations: the cold has its risks.
Clarifying in action
You can consider additives such as gelatin or polysaccharides, which will help sediments abandon your beer faster than an action movie. Remember, not all heroes carry a cape!
Carbonation and the Grand Final
If you are in the club of those who have a combination and carbonation system, congratulations! You can enjoy your beer in the blink of an eye. But if you choose the traditional bottling route, prepare for the wait that could last a couple of weeks.
The best thing is that you keep your concoction very cold after carbonate it. This will accelerate maturation and sedimentation, allowing you to enjoy your creation as soon as possible.
So you know, dear weekend brewer: with these tricks you can enjoy your sweat in the form of beer in a faster way. Health and you never miss your next paint!
