Brew #6: The Bubbles!
After pitching the yeast at about 10pm last night I thought that maybe there would be some activity this morning and…. was right! There is a healthy looking krausen in the fermenter, with some even straying down the blow off hose.
The loose end of the hose is immersed in a jug half filled with a sterilizing solution . As of 9am this morning bubbles were rising at a rate of 1 per second. Wort/beer is a nice golden/light copper colour.
To ensure this brew went well I made some changes from the brewing process I used on my last batch before Christmas. This time I didn’t add any Irish moss or any Malto-dextrose (a non-fermentable sugar used to add “body”) . I’m not sure if these differences are what did it though….
I will hopefully post some pics when I bottle this in a week or so.
Cheers
