A nice smooth brewing night. Not bad to say that Charlie has been a nightmare lately going to bed so I was dreading doing a brew, but it all went perfectly.
I think I am still a little short on final volume so I have amended my equipment profile again to add another 1lt into the kettle dead space. I ended up being short by 1.5lts. No big problem.
I added 10g of Lactic Acid 80% mid boil to help with head preservation. This brought the pH down from 5.00 to 4.66 which I thought is enough. I didn't want to mess about with the chance of harming the primary fermentation.
I also had to swap out the HH hops as i had none! I really should check the fridge more thoroughly when putting a recipe together! Instead I used some Styrian Goldings (Bobek), 20g for 90 mins. Erring on the side of caution here as I didn't want the IBU's to be on the +20 side.
I was a little hesitant about the new White Labs yeast vials as they say they're ready to go, but I went with it and pitched the entire tube as I was filling the FV. The Wyeast Roeselare blend smelt sublime. Like a really good champagne! Cant wait to see how this one turns out.
I came down this morning and theres already signs of life through the airlock. |

Hmmm nowhere near where this should be. I feel this may sit in secondary for quite some time:
pH = 4.20
OG = 1072.03°
PG = 1017.11°
ABV = 7.23% |

A little disappointing. Thin and too bitter but I am not sure where that bitterness is coming from. Lots more time for this one yet. I think I may add some dregs from some decent bottles to move things along a bit. |

This was finally blended 50:50 with beer #100 (Dark Winter Saison I) and bottled.
The remaining beer was then bottled into 750ml and 330ml bottles. |
