Thanks for the advice. I'll taste as soon as I get home from work. I have no confidence that I'm capable of decerning anything useful myself but I do love tasting stuff. :)
Post boil SG was 1.022 which was under the expected 1.039. Fun thing is that I broke my hydrometer cleaning up.
I rehydrated at 35c as per instructions. Was a bit worried that the shock of going into the 18c wort might have killed it
ok. Total noob here. Second brew.
Brew day on Sunday seemed to go ok. Went into no chill cube. Pitched Windsor Danstar yeast monday night. might have stuffed up the re-hydration. Never seen it done before. Tuesday moring there was a great looking kausen on top.
Wednesday morning and now this...
Damn! What a day!
Anthony at Craftbrewer was extremely helpful and sorted us with a recipe for a basic APA with mosaic hops. He explained things very well and filled in a few blanks I still had.
But... we got started pretty late. By the time we did more reading, made some notes, cleaned...
Wow. Everyone here is very helpful. Liam_snorkle, thank you very much, I'll look forward to that at lunch time.
Brewologist, I'm right into brewery porn, but I'm shy ;)
