Hi. I'm Mark Emiley on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we are going to be talking
about aging our beer and then finally, drinking our beer. Now, you finally have all your beer
bottled and capped. Now comes the hardest part; you have to wait. What you are going
to want to do is you're going to put it into a dark area of your house at about room temperature
(60-70 degrees or so) and it's going to sit there for about two to four weeks. And during
this time, the yeast that is still in solution is going to eat up all that priming sugar
that we just put into it. And that's going to release carbon dioxide and pressurize the
bottle and give you carbonation. So, in two weeks, you can try to have one bottle and
see if it's got enough carbonation, you're good to go. If three weeks, you're probably
going to get a little bit more and about four weeks, usually most beers will be plenty carbonated
so that you can drink them by then. Alright, so several weeks have passed and it is time
to try your beer. The first thing to notice is that there a fine layer of yeast sediment
on the bottom of the bottle. Don't worry this is actually good for you and there is a lot
of vitamin B however, as you pour your beer you're going to want to try to minimize the
amount that you get into your glass. So your going to open your bottle, find a nice clean
glass give yourself a pour. Your going to enjoy the beautiful colors that you gotten
out of your beer and the nice carbonation that the yeast has given you from the priming
sugar. Finally after all the hard work you can enjoy your product. . Before we leave
I will leave a tip of advise always clean everything that you use immediately afterwards.
If you wait for a while you taking the chance that some gunk forming a nice hard cake and
it becomes a lot harder later. Second clean okay take the time to clean and sanitize everything
that is touching the beer this is the biggest chance of making your beer not as not as good
as it could be so pay attention to that you are in good shape. Finally if it does not
come out the first time try it again and try the recipe and do some more research for even
continue trying home brewing in very good prospective in the fundamentals. But over
all try these worlds and take and relax don't worry.
