I put an IPA into primary on the night of 3/3. The beer had a lag time of about 8-9 hours and gradually started fermenting increasingly vigorously. Last night it was fermenting furiously.
This morning it has totally stopped.
Characteristics of brew:
This morning it has totally stopped.
Characteristics of brew:
- The wort is 3.5 gallons, so I pitched slightly (70%) of a full packet of Safale S-04 rehydrated in 237ml water.
- Pre-boil gravity = 1.051; Post-boil OG = 1.060
- The wort water is ion-exchanged through a Brita-like filter.
- I used no yeast nutrients.
- The wort aeration was provided by letting the wort splash out of the Megapot kettle into the fermenter.
- The temperature doesn't seem to have changed dramatically.
