WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Steeped grains for 20 minutes before boil.

Made a yeast starter.


Primary temp fluctuated between 17C and 21C. Maybe down to 16C - winter temps. Fermentation not visible until 48 hours.

Primary for 12 days, not sealed. Opened maybe 6 times total to check fermentation.



Transferred to secondary with racking cane. First time unsuccessful, so I had to refill siphon with sanitizer and do it again.

Bung was still wet when attempted to put on. Pressed it too hard and it entered carboy. Temporarily covered with unsanitized aluminum foil for 24 hours.

Boiled 300ml of water and added 1/2 cup corn sugar (dextrose). Worried about 1 gallon of headspace in secondary. Added dextrose and installed bung and airlock. Filled airlock with vodka.

Bottled on 02/19/2014.

Update: 07/22/2014. Forgot to take tasting notes :(. But I remember it being really good despite my conceived screw-ups.
