Notes: Actually finished at 1.017, so that would make it 3.4% - however, as it was mashed at 68-70c, this may a more viscous wort that will take longer to completely ferment out.
I left it in primary for 3 weeks - it fermented vigorously for the first 2-3 days, then subsided to about 1.020. I then went on holiday for 2 weeks and when I came back it was 1.017/1.018.
It also seemed like it had a fairly large amount of dissolved CO2 - usually when I taste samples at this stage they seem completely flat. This tasted slightly carbonated.
So for that reason I bottled it with only 50g of sugar - equating to 2g/litre. This is lower than the usual level of 3g/litre I bottle with.
Also - I used my own home grown fuggles, and unusually for bittering hops I could really taste the hop character and some aroma in the beer.
However, the bottles exploded and I had to tip them down the sink. Assume I bottled too early. |
