I can&#39;t imagine how I ever got by without one. In fact I barely did without trashing the kitchen. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2492 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:33:56 +0000 blackhatchetboy 2492@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Just finished bottling 42 bottles of Summer Ale! On top of a days work it was knackering, but very satisfying. Now to sit down and enjoy the weekend.</p> <p>BTW: The little bottler is worth every penny barely spilt a drop! Now to finish the labels. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2490 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:49:58 +0000 Neil 2490@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>I&#39;m like the idea of 6hr brews i must admit. If it gets me out of the house work then who am to complain? </p> <p>Bring on the brews! </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2488 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:54:29 +0000 Tony 2488@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>lol .. yes indeed. I remember my excursions into kits/extract and the missus seem to &#39;enjoy&#39; it :o)</p> <p>Now she really looks forward to 6 hour brews :o) </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2486 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:46:25 +0000 Neil 2486@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Am i the only one? But my other half really enjoys getting involved with the brewing. Perhaps i&#39;m an enigma? i don&#39;t know? Question is when i upgrade my kit and take over the kitchen will she have the same enthusiasm? i suspect not. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2480 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:03:31 +0000 Tony 2480@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>How we suffer for our art!</p> <p>Ahhh .. now if only we could get the women to understand.</p> <p>Is this a recurring theme?</p> <p>:O) </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2479 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:00:42 +0000 Neil 2479@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>I have to agree... My summer ale is getting better and better as the weeks go by. It&#39;s clearing now as well which is even better. Oh the taste is sublime as well i will certainly be getting this one again in the future... </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2477 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:55:41 +0000 Nath 2477@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>I would just like to add that after what, nearly 3 months of conditioning my 6x clone smells and pretty much tastes bang on, just a hint of aftertaste which may well be the type of yeast used. I wouldnt brew it again but it has proved 1 thing.</p> <p>CONdiTioNInG RUlES!!!! </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2344 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:23:13 +0000 Nath 2344@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>I gota say these last few brews I have done I have only had snippits and still have 2 full kegs for about 4-5 weeks now. I must buy an immersion chiller though so I can get a good cold break and reduce chance of infection (see next post) &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_sad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:(&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2341 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:37:34 +0000 Tony 2341@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>I always pretend that it doesn&#39;t bother me .. but as you say, it&#39;s lovely to pout out a crystal clear pint with a nice head. I&#39;m never disappointed however if the beer is a little cloudy if it tastes good :o) </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2334 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:05:40 +0000 Greg 2334@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Um, I didn&#39;t get on too well with the bramlings although mine did get better as it aged. I was also drinking it very cold (jan) which didn&#39;t help.</p> <p>One of mine (which was still cloudy on Saturday) was crystal clear last night. I must admit I do prefer my beers crystal clear. I always feel they are inferior if they are a bit murky even though they taste pretty much the same. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2330 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:01:00 +0000 Tony 2330@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>completely agree!</p> <p>The only beer I&#39;ve made recently that seems to get &#39;worse&#39; with age is the single hop - bramling cross brew. The sweet fruity taste from the bx really would benefit from much more bitterness.</p> <p>Having said that, there really is nothing better than your own beer :o) </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/the-mysterys-of-conditioning#post-2329 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:42:39 +0000 Greg 2329@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>It never fails to amaze me, after years of home brewing, the difference a few weeks and even days can make to a brew.</p> <p>Home brewed beer changes so much day by day that beers that you think are okay, turn out to be great and then (sometimes) can be okay again.</p> <p>Its one of the most exciting things about home brewing, seeing how the beer changes.</p> <p>I keep changing my mind about brews as they progress, more often that not in a good way. </p> <p>There is really nothing better than home brewed beer. </p>
