11th May 2009 – Probably cheating to call this a new brew, but I pitched the second half of the Aussie Pale Ale Double Batch in the fermenter this evening. It has been resting in the cube while waiting for the ESB to ferment out (patience grasshopper).
I started the yeast about 6 days ago, again using the dregs from 2 coopers bottles. Because of the cold weather it seemed to still be fermenting which is ideal so pitched her straight in at about 16 deg and straight into the fermenting fridge set at 19Deg.
12 May 2009 – Bit of a lag this time, took almost 24 hours but seems to be off and running. Keep our fingers crossed….
25 May 2009 – Bulk primed to 3 volumes and bottled into champagne bottles. Smells good!
12 June 2009 – mmmm…bit drier and cleaner than the first half of the batch. Or maybe its just that its my first beer on a friday after work!
