I use the laundry sink. Sooner, rather than later, SWMBO will tell me to clear those damned bottles away. No way will they ever be left more than a day.
OK, I'm ducking for cover at the reaction of all the politically correct husbands who do the laundry for their sweeties........

This is all well ...

I have a big tub for soaking labels off stubbies but twice now, due to being busy, I've forgotten about them and left them in for over a week and the water has become stagnant which is no good and has resulted in me having to thoroughly wash the bottles afterwards just to get rid of the smell.

4) Lagers should be cept COLD. For this time of the year, I'd say put the fermenter in the coolest part of your house. Fermentation will take a bit longer, but the results will be much better.

While this is true, I'd say it is not particularly helpful since he is a 1st time brewer and brewing ...

How important is temperature in terms of beer storage?

I have moved into a smaller house so at present most of my beer is stored in a shed, which is roughly the outside temperature. This is all well and good at the moment, but I'm a touch concerned about what is going to happen to my beer come ...

Exactly what I needed to know, as far as I can tell.

Cheers.

I have a somewhat related questions which I don't think is worth it's own thread...

I'm currently brewing a lager, just racked it this afternoon, and I am planning to rack it again and refrigerate it for a period of time before bottling it. What sort of time period will I have before all the yeast ...

I probably couldn't be more impressed.

Why didn't the Safale work?

I am planning to do a high-alcohol lemonade with a similar to this.

Toam

I wasn't sure about putting the yeast in the freezer for that exact reason, so I won't.

Cheers guys.

I just got some dry yeast and some hops pellets in the mail...

Now, I am aware that these are kept in the fridge in homebrew stores but is it better to store them in the fridge or the freezer?

Toam

How did this turn out?

Toam

If you use the sodium met. and bottle brush, that should take care of the dishwashing detergent inside the bottles...
