thanks for responding,
good idea of adding yeast and recap again, i will tried that morticaixavier
and yes amh0001, while siphining i stir a little bit to make sure have the sugar is properly mix with the beer
i learned the lesson, thats for sure!

Yeast and Fermentation / left it in the primary for 60 days

For personal reasons, i could'nt have the time to bottle a Pumpkin Ale i made several weeks ago that was store in outdoors light hidden with a cool temperature, usually i dont use a secondary for any of my beers,so bottle it a month ago, and this was the results:
Super clear beer.- When i siphoned the beer to the bottled bucket it was no disturbance at all of the bottom, it was very stuck!
No off flavors, the pumpkin vegetable flavor and aroma with spices at end of boiling was the same at the begining and end of the process, maybe the extra bittering i add help with this in flavor.
at least the 60 percent of the bottles was not properly carbonated, just a little of CO2 but sweet,
i was confused about the possible reasons of this, so i figure out: didnt add enough corn sugar at bottle time, didn't put the caps properly,bottle cellaring temperature was too cool but at the end i figure that it was have the enough amount remaining of yeast to make the fermentation process in the bottle,. what do you think?
i follow my method of bottling for two years now i never have this kind of problem
by the way... happy Christmas and Happy New Year, and Feliz Dia de Reyes almost!
PD, next time (i hope not) i'll add some yeast

Events / Baja Micro breweries vs Nano breweries (mostly home brewers) in the same day
« on: July 13, 2012, 04:10:33 PM »
Today is an historic day in Tijuana,.
Tijuana Beer was the responsible for past beer festivals in our town, it was the first craft beer in the region and in cooperation with Stone, there where making a two day festival for us every year
But, this year... Baja's homebrewers decided to go in a Association togheter and make their own "true" artisan or home brewing festival the same day!
This is going to raise the atention of the non craft beer people drinkers.. so im happy! haha
Take a look!

« on: June 11, 2012, 04:05:45 PM »Well, what's the verdict? Did you get the smell out?HA! Nope, you're not the only one. I've forgotten about it for a week before, but it only takes a day or two to start getting nasty. I once had a mouse or something die inside the frame of an old car I once had. The smell is similar.
Oh, edit for relevant reply: The smell took a while to go away, but I never had a problem with any batch after that and still use the same equipment.
it is nice to hear that theoman,... uhh, i must admit this is the second time i forgot, but the last time it was only a couple of days,..., i think is a very good example of the smell, a dead mouse! haha
oh yes!, finally after two days, two oxy clean washes and two star san spray treatments finally is back in bussines!, thanks to all for your advices, next weekend i"ll be brewing again
gracias,.....totales

two weeks ago, i was so excited at my last brew that i forgot to clean in... left the grains in it , and yesterday when i opened 
my goodness! you can imagine how bad smells!
I clean it up with oxy clean, star san and stills has a little bit of weird smells
it is my first cooler since i begun to brew to all grain,
so, it is time to buy another one? it will add smells or of-flavor to a future brew?
thanks!

All Grain Brewing / Re: missed OG target, want to increase sugars on Tripel
« on: May 14, 2012, 06:08:58 PM »I would be scared to add sugar to a beer that went from 62 to 05!
Balance is more important than numbers, ya know....
right now it has an obvious alcoholic aroma, but I hope it can be fixed in the secondary and then, i think a little more lagering for a while
Next time i'll put a little more of hops for aroma,...
