Hello everyone
I am pretty much new to all this and have jumped in at the deep end making beer using BIAB recipes...
So far not great, i managed to produce a great looking but absolutely vile tasting Belgian pale ale, I used liquid yeats and made mistakes
I have a dry stout in the fermenter at the moment, again BIAB, all has been going great this time, nice clean brew day, good boil, chiller worked a treat, and dried yeast kicked in rapidly. So the brew seems to have calmed down in the bucket, bubbles are pretty rare, nice big krausen that is diminishing and a thick yeast sludge at the bottom,,,,
So here we go,, it has only been a week in the tub, gravity of 1.012 achieved, so the rcipe says bottle,, but i am in two minds whether or not to leave it another week to condition in the tub ? to try and mellow it a bit before bottling..
What are your thoughts on this ??
would love to have my own stout ready for St Patrick's day as I am having a bash at the house
Thanks in advance
