Hi all,
My second AG is now in primary & looking as though it will be a cracker, just like my first one, a JSGA clone. My OG was a little higher this time round coming in at around 1.058 @ 20 litres. I added some fresh water to get the OG to 1.047, now @ 23 litres, which is where I wanted my starting OG to be. If all goes well it should drop out at 1.012 giving me approx 4.69%. I hit temps pretty well second time round also & managed a 76% efficiency this time. One temp which I am having trouble with is my mash out. I add mash out water at 100 deg c & can't get it to sit for 10 mins at 76-77 deg c. I only got it to 74.3 & shut the lid for 10 mins.
My question is this,
Can I make a few batches & store them in my Corny kegs at room temp until I want to gas them. I planned on siphoning from secondary to keg, gas & burp & leave in fridge to get temp down to 4 deg C. I will then filter from keg to keg, regas at 100kpa, burp & leave in the shed at room temp till I'm ready to consume.
Cheers,
Crusty
