This is a 3kg can of ESB Nut Brown Ale. It has an additional 1kg LLME, and I pitched a Safale 04 without proofing.
Made it up last Friday. OG 1.052. I put 40g Cascade pellets into the pot that I dissolved the extract in, brought to boil, then tipped it in.
Temp was 24C when I pitched, and it stayed on 22C for the next 2 days, and has been about 20C since then, and still is.
It went "bloop bloop" rather normally for a couple of days, and on Monday it was down to about once every 40 seconds. This morning it was still going. Bubbling about every 2 mins.
I was hoping to bottle it today. SG is 1.022. The test tube had about half an inch of yeast and hop particles in it, so I tipped that out and poured another, which was pretty much the same. It still tastes sweet.
The plan was to just bulk prime and bottle when it's ready. I don't want it to start on the yeast cake, so perhaps I should run it into my other fermenter. Maybe I should do that tonight.
