Notes

Thursday 22nd October 2015 - 1.6L starter of WY1318

Saturday 24th October 2015 - 0.5L of starter removed for future use. Starter added to the fridge to settle overnight.

17.5L at 1.055

Monday 2nd November (Day 9) - Kegged in CO2 flushed DH filter keg with dry hops 183g DH (>10g/L).

CO2 transferred using new set up. Worked terribly with CO2 leaking out of the carboy cap and the transfer taking a very long time...

FG=1.014. 5.4% ABV. pH = 4.18.

Tuesday 3rd November 2015 - Rolled the keg to agitate the hops. Leaking from liquid post. Bubbled CO2 through liquid out to keep pressure and further agitate hops.

Wed 4th November - Started cold crash of dry hop keg.
