I had about 7.2 gallons when I finished plus some extra raw wort (1.5gallons) that hadn't been boiled from rinsing the grain. I combined that 1.5 with one gallon from the boiled wort to make a "rawish" brew in a carboy, that had an OG of 1.025. I added the 1 gallon after pitching the yeast so it got some yeast in it... fingers crossed.
Also, the brew sat at/near boiling for about 40 minutes after flame-out while I got the chiller ready and stuff. |

I put the fast ferment in its jacket and put a space hater in front of it, attached to the temperature controller. After on night, it was at 68 degrees |

Beer tastes really good after 8 hours of a Diacetyl rest, I'm going to give it another one or two days, then keg it. Maybe dry hop. It needs to drop 4 or 5 more points, hopefully in the next few days |

I'm also reporting on the 1.5g raw wort that I'm fermenting with 1g of boiled beer. It tastes good, weak and light but the OG of 1.025 is now down to 1.011. I'm going to add champagne yeast and/or amalo enzyme tonight, then oak |

Still tastes great, I'm hoping to get it a little drier before I keg it up. I added half an oak stick to it yesterday, not sure I can taste it yet |

I added 5-6 hops that had dried out on the vine, not sure if it will do anything |

The raw wort that I've been experimenting came down to 1.005 so I kegged it and added some CO2 (forced at 40psi with 3-4 minutes of shaking). I also added 1 gallon of the regular beer. It tastes light, almost watery but oaky too |

Kegged it up, tastes great. Mild and super easy drinking. I'd do higher gravity next time |
