AG#13 - Mrs Hefty (Hefeweizen)

[NickW]

Hi all,

A good brewday, hit volumes and a a good OG. Only problem was I had a leak in my FV by the tap so had to quickly improvise and move the wort to another FV. Lost about half a litre so not too bad..

Brewing this for The Spring Thing competition. Hopefully it'll turn out well :)

It's nuts isn't it! Great yeast though.

Looking at all the other brew day posts on here makes me want more shiny things!!

edit... i see your blow off tube made no difference

Well it's no wonder your blow-off is blowing off. A 90 minute ferment is pretty fast ! I suspect your yeast will be well and truly dead too :shock:

:wha:
