2.5L starter from one vial of WLP540 (2+1L)
CS: 90 minute boil. Add syrup and soft sugar at flameout. Chill to 17'C. Pitch yeast. Oxygen for 90 seconds. Slowly ramp primary for 7 days up to 23'C. At near-terminal gravity (1.014), rack off primary yeast and drop temp to 15'C for the next 10 days then brighten at 7'C for 3 weeks. Bottle prime with Simplicity at 32g/gallon in heavy bottles. Cellar for 12 months.
Stalled fermentation at 1.040. One attempt to restart with another 2L starter of WLP540 (used shaking to properly aerate). Then noticed the liquid yeast had expired week before brewday, and was not taken into account. Second pitch with T-58 dry yeast (hydrated) finally did the trick.
Brewday October 1st, secondary fermentation/cold crash at 12'C started October 27th, bottling finally at November 13th.
Pullotettavaa oli 20 litraa. Pulloon saatiin 60x0,33L annosta. OG 1.096 ja FG nyt 1.024, näillä tiedoilla ABV ois 9,5%. Satsiin meni 200g vaahterasiirappia (10g/L) joilla pitäis päästä 3.0 CO2 tilavuuteen. Laitettiin myös pussillinen T-58 kuivahiivaa pullokäymisen varmistamiseksi.
