phew, finally stopped ignoring all the dirty brew pots and bits and pieces and cleaned them properly. All draining now and will be ready for putting away tomorrow night.
I've got an intermittent bug when ramping to strike temp which results in a 1 or 2 degree over-shoot but then it doesn't happen again. I think it has something to with switching from constant heat into PID heating mode.
I also forgot to get the cascade from chest freezer at in-laws place, so used Nelson sauvin instead. Only just had enough to do the 30 min addition so that was lucky.
Brew day over. My citra smash is still cranking away with a healthy krausen and it has been 7 days today since pitching. I'll do a gravity reading tomorrow and see how we are going. Smells nice. And this will be first attempt at hopping during cold crashing. See how it goes.
Once that has finished fermenting I'll this batch in for ferment and should be able to get a full keg and 5 or 6 bottles as well. I'll give one to Liam, Luke, and my brother Duncan as a momento of the day.
