Guys .. I have tried something new for me and that is the use of late additions of adjusts / fermentables such as honey /brown sugar ... the wort is looking ok .. the krausen again ok .. drops and rises with new additions .. my thoughts are is there any potential for wild yeasts to have hit my wort whilst the glad wrap has been off / or when the honey has been added ( I like to think that the mega billion yeast cells used out of an Irish yeast smack pack would out number any wild yeasts ... BTW this is a 9.6% darkish ale / stoutish kinda beer ....
I am open to advise be it constructive ... would like to avoid the b/s though ... if necessary I can post the grain bill etc ... but a basic idea over a 45lt trial version is 13 kg harris otter - 1 kg red wood honey, 500gm brown sugar and 1 kg 120 crystal...
Saaz pellets and Cascade flowers as hops ...
