Made my first batch of beer. Everything worked well. Can't wait to taste it. Some questions:
- I used Star-San to sanitize everything. This looks like pretty toxic stuff, but you aren't supposed to rinse. What gives? Isn't this dangerous?
- Before I'm about to bottle the beer, I rinse with Star-San but it tends to leave bubbles in the bottle. I ran a bottle cleaner through the bottle to break up the bubbles but should I just let the bubbles pop with time and then bottle. Seems to leave a lot of Star-San in the bottle.
- After fermentation is done, you can wait another week or so if you want the beer clearer before bottling. Won't all the yeast die? How come you can wait so long and still have live yeast.
Thanks. Scott
