29/12/2016 – Brew Day. Very slow runoff from mash tun which only seemed to right itself when I tilted the mash tun forwards. I’ve no idea what the problem was. I pitched 300ml of yeast slurry from a higher gravity beer and which had also been in the fridge for three weeks. Fingers crossed.
30/12/2016 – No activity! I panicked and pitched another sachet of yeast. I also moved the fermenter into the hall where it’s a bit warmer. Fermentation going 5 hours later. I’d say that the temperature was the problem. The freshly pitched yeast won’t go astray in finishing the fermentation.
15/01/2017 – I went old-school with the addition of 100g Cascade for the dry-hop.
28/01/2017 – Bottled with 109g corn sugar (17.5 litres @ 2.4 vol). Got 21 x 750ml bottles form the batch.
