OK, Here's the plan;
I'll arrive at my destination (Hilton Head) ~4 pm Saturday evening.
I'll do a quick inventory of the pots and pans and taste the water. If I detect that the water is treated and or soft or not pleasant, I'll plan on picking up some spring water. Also, if there isn't a 4 gallon pot, I'll buy my spring water in a 5 gallon returnable bottle AKA carboy.
Most beach houses have some form of a steamer pot and that is what I intend to use.
After getting settled, I'll boil up 3 or so( no measurements) gallons of water, I'll keep the lid on initially to insure its sanitary and then remove it and continue to boil for a few minutes to reduce and or remove any chlorine. Remove from heat and add the DME. Stir in and return to boil. Then I'll add the hops and boil for 16 minutes to make sure it falls into style guidelines.
After the boil, I'll chill in a sink of cold water until it feels cold enough to pitch.
The plan is to ferment in the boil pot. Sanitized lid on and the pot covered with a towel or a garbage bag.
I'll put the pot by an AC vent and build a shroud to keep it cool. A cardboard box from the grocery store should do the job.
This being a lower gravity beer, and pitching a healthy yeast, I'm expecting fermentation to be near finished in 3 days. I'm also using a high flocing yeast which drops like a rock in 3 days.
I'll visually judge when fermentation is subsiding and likely Wednesday be ready to bottle.
This will be interesting because I need enough fermentables to properly carbonate the beer.
I think as soon as the krausen starts to show sins of dropping is when I'll bottle.
Bottling will be in 2 liter soda bottles that i'll pour a little boiling water into to sanitize. I'll use whatever type of funnel they have and pour from the pot into the bottles. re-cap the bottles and leave at room temperature for a day. This should a be perfect amount of recovered CO2 for an English beer.
This should be Wednesday.
I'll put 1/2 the batch in the Fridge on Wednesday night for Thursday's consumption, and the other 1/2 in the fridge in Thursday for Friday's consumption.
Thought's?
