I use to leave about an inch at the top, I now leave about a quarter of an inch, it certainly helps, oh, and don't shake up the bottle either.............
That's great news, glad it turned out well, high hopes for this yeast, could be the answer to my prayers to produce something slightly like a Verdant beer 🤞🤞
Good luck with that, i'm doing his recipe next but like you slightly modified as I haven't got his exact grain bill, same hops as he suggested though.............
Verdant beers are usually right up there for quality if you like thick fruity hazy IPAs with a smooth mouthfeel.
Bottled mine this morning, looking decent, now the wait begins.........
It's weird, on election night Trump was down as having a 99% chance of winning Georgia by the bookies who don't usually get it THAT wrong, now it's flipped and Biden is going to win Georgia...........
I read somewhere what the Verdant malt base is so I used that and then used the hops they put into 'Putty'.
So, 45% Golden Promise ( I used Maris Otter extra pale)
33% Wheat Malt
11% Oats
11% Flaked Wheat ( I used Torrified Wheat)
Hops : Galaxy, Azacca and Galaxy.
Quick update...........8 days now and just took a reading, down to 1.010 from 1.052 so 5.5% with 82% attenuation so all looking good.
Tastes very promising from the test tube and with a big dry hop planned in about a weeks time I've got big hopes with this brew.🤞🤞🤞
Hoping to bottle Sunday week.
I found my half pack into 10 lts had finished after 3 days, that's nearly as quick as Kveik Voss, hope that's alright.
I fermented at 19c and plan to raise it by a degree per day from Wednesday until I get to 22c.
Hmmmmm, interesting, i'm planning to do the David Heath recipe next as well except with a couple of small changes to the grain bill.
I did wonder about the 10 minute addition, I think I'll give that a miss as yours was quite bitter and I'll add more at flameout.
I'm hoping for a NEIPA style as...
Born and raised there, the area not the micropub :)
By the way, it's Bitterne PARK Triangle, not Bitterne Triangle.........great micropub though, miss it now I've moved away, I think it was the 1st ever micropub in Southampton.
