Got home from PNG last night. Went and looked in the top of the fermenter expecting mushrooms, green slime and puss to be oozing out but the top of the brew is clear and clean A good sign!

Its been at 30 deg for the last month.

Took a hydro sample this morning and the yeast has dropped and has finnished at 1.004

Taste was spicy, slightly fruity and dry as dry Some bready malt, balanced with a mild floral spicy hop note and a touch of acid to extend the dry finnish.

something i just realised is i didnt post the recipe i used.

Going to make a Saison stout to put on the yeast cake.

Sounds fair mate.

We will have to catch up some time. I will save you a few chilli seeds if you want. I have heaps.

well its been sitting at 19 deg (heat turned off) for almost a week and its cleared up fairly well.

The airlock has been dry for a good 2 weeks id say and there is still no sign of the infection that plagues me.

The beer tastes clean (for a saison) and bloody delicious

Gunna rack it tomorrow and let it settle the bottle.

If it carbs up ok i might have something to enter into the State comp

cheers
