Good Morning from Flixon Breweries. We thought it would be most courteous to post an update to our brew that we tried our best to ruin at the start of the process.
We put the floaty guage thing in it after 10 days and it had indeed knocked our yeast for six, so thank you to everyone that let us know that it might occur. Thanks for letting us know Wilco's had the gear in, because we have a local one and it was a God send, otherwise, it was thirty minutes drive.
So our hydrometer is showing a 5% brew, and we've banged another packet of yeast in it. We're not touching it now until next Sunday which will be the 20th day of fermentation in the big bucket jobbo. It tastes OK too, so it must be clean. We tasted a tiny gobfull each. Very sugary of course, which kind of confirmed that we'd killed the yeast, but it didn't taste rotten.
Then we will test it again and all being well, we'll syphon it into our pressure barrel with 80g of priming sugar.
The end result is to blast Betty Firstbrew open for the epic Joshua vs Kiltschko battle, for which their can only be one winner.
Flixon Breweries would also like to announce that for our next brew, we are going for cider moonshine.
Cheers everyone :lol:
