YeastFace Brewdays

[YeastFace]

Life got in the way on Monday, but brewing this today.

Mash went swimmingly and hit all pre-boil numbers. Likewise with the boil.

Glad I picked this to brew this week and not a lager, as not sure the chiller would have got much under 20°. In any case wort has gone into fermenter at 27.5°c.

From previous use of Philly Sour, it will take 3 days to get to target PH. Interested to see how the Kveik will interact with the fruit. Reason behind using it is to enhance the tropical fruit aromas, so hopefully it works well.

Just bottled my mixed ferm thing, will not be repeating that.

Bought a Kegland handheld counter pressure bottle filler to use on mixed ferm stuff. A mix of user error (doubt it's designed for highly carbed beers) and terrible deisgn (the rubber stopper not being held in properly, the plastic figer guard not being heat shrunk) made for an awful experience. I couldn't recommend it as the rubber stopper is simply absolute ****.

Not happy with the bottle fill levels (although there's no chance I didn't cap on foam) so have ordered a line reducer and will try again with the Valpar 3/16" line I have.
