Hello all,
I have a question related to Conditioning of Beer.
I have purchased a racking cube (Jerry Can) from the local beer supplies shop in North Sydney and rack the beer from Primary after fermentation is complete. This is for 2 reasons, the first is to get it off the yeast cake and the second if to free up the fermentor for the next batch.
I've been able to empy an old beer fridge in the garage and at the lowest setting (high Temp) it maintains about 15 deg C. It holds 3 jerry cans of beer (60 Litres). I add a samll about of Dex (36g) to the racking cube to generate a small amount of CO2 to form a layer over the beer. When I get a chance, maybe up to 2 weeks later I bottle and prime as per normal.
What is best for the beer? Fermenting in the cube for a week or more at say 24deg or a week at 15deg.
What's wrong with the process described above? What gets the best results and how would the process differ when using kegs.
