Bottling
If no more gas bubbles are passing
through the airlock (7), the fermentation
is complete. The green beer can now be
filled into bottles for conditioning (secon-
dary fermentation) (fig. 11).
Preparation of bottles:
Soak the rubber bands of the swing tops
in 70% ethanol. Rinse the bottles well
with hot water, then sterilise them in the
oven at 160°C for 4 hours and cover the
openings with aluminium foil. Do not use
any dishwashing detergent since this re-
duce the surface tension and therefore
prevent the beer from getting a perfect
head when pouring.
The bottle should be washed shortly be-
fore filling as possible, and the ambient
temperature should be as cool as possi-
ble.
To support the secondary fermentation
(which carbonates the beer), sugar (cal-
led priming sugar) is added to the green
beer before filling:
Dissolve the amount of sugar indicated in
the table in 1l of boiling water (to ensure
sterility), allow it to cool, and stir it into
the green beer.
Then fill the beer into cleaned bottles or
kegs. The green beer can also be filled in
bottles before the end of the main fer-
mentation (original wort approx. 4°). In
this case, do not add any sugar.

During and towards the end of the fer-
mentation, use the hydrometer to iden-
tify the ideal moment for bottling (see
Lautering p. 42). The time is right when
the fermentation foam has turned brown
and the yeast has largely settled on the
bottom. The beer should have a value of
approx. 4° Plato (depending on the reci-
pe).

Caution!
If the green beer is bottled too soon, or
if you add too much sugar, the pressure
created by the secondary fermentation
can make the bottles explode!
Use only
beer bottles or pres-
BIELMEIER
sure-tight bottles from specialist retailers.
Duration of secondary fermentation:
4–6 weeks
