bottling cold

yardglass · Post by **yardglass** » Monday Jan 09, 2006 12:56 pm

gday,
i bottled up the Wasp Lager last night.
just a quick question, does it make any difference if the beer was cold when bottled ?

Ferment had definitely finished,
14 days primary @ 11*
2 days room temp
12 days secondary @ 5*, so no worries about that side.

i took it out of the u-beaute brew box, bulk primed and bottled.

cheers

N.O.T.G. i reckon.

I think that is "Nothing Other Than Good" or something close.

And no, cold will not make a difference unless your bottles are really hot and you crack them.

thanks DD,
all i've got to worry about now is the fact that i bottled after i'd had quite a few neck oils and bulk primed 19lt with 200gm of Dex.

him bottle, go much big bang

I don't prime that much but my last bottle explosion (only two bottles in 15 brews - pretty good I reckon) sent a sliver of glass two inches long, about a third the thickness of your pinkie, THROUGH the thick cardboard box it was in. Literally fired through - scary stuff.

Whats the alternative to having these potential bombs in your house so members of the beloved family arent injured or killed?

after a couple of exploding grolsch bottles the other day I placed remainder of that brew in a 25L plastic storage box with lid on! If anymore rockets go off hopefully that will contain them.

Now I just have to get the stains out of the carpet the wife wroks out what's under the towel on the floor

Watch out for lager burps after consuming a few of those gassies
