Bulldog Bad Cat

Meme · Oct 19, 2014

I have had this brewing for 12 days and it is still bubbling away!

This is my 4th Bulldog kit and there is one thing I like about the actual making of them. The malt extract comes in a screw top bag, which makes it easy to rinse out with hot water by giving it a good shake.

Festival kits were my favourite but I could never get all the malt extract out of the bag.

I am not comparing the quality of the beer, just the mechanics.

I like those screw tops too. Easy to get a bit of boiling water in and really get the last LME out!

Foil bags, I snip the corner, squeeze them out into the FV, poke my sterilised thermometer in the to open the hole, then carefully get a bit of boiling water in there, fold the corner over, shake, pour in FV, then repeat - this usually gets most of the LME out!

This Bulldog Bad Cat is a monster!

20 days and still bubbling the airlock. Although it has slowed down to 10 min intervals.

Crikey - mine was done after a week and a half. What temps are you brewing at?

What temps are you brewing at?

21Âº C

I put the Bulldog "tea bags" in 4 days ago thinking it was about to stop.

It seems to have been quite for 24 hours now, so at least 21 days of fermentation.

I'll be bottling tomorrow...
