General Comments:
[12/12/12]First attempt at BIAB. Very smooth brew no issues really.@23:30 Mash was 1.058 which seemed ok and would indicated efficiency of about 70%.
[13/12/12]@7am Despite some concerns about the yeast we are off to a good start. Looks like it only took a matter of hours to get going.
[14/12/12] krausen has dropped down, seems quite quick…
[15/12/12] Steady 18c, have put on the brew belt to make sure the temp stays up now that the primary fermentation is tailing off.
[18/12/12] 1.020 Racked to the carboy and moved to Owen’s nice warm apartment. Green taste nothing special at this point. Lots more gravity points to drop and conditioning to happen yet.
[24/12/12] Still sitting happily in carboy at 21C, no visible activity, lots of trub. Nice complex floral hop smell.
[30/12/12] Just under 15ltrs bottled, great smell and dry taste
