Opening fermentation vessel

[Fireside Ales Homebrewery]

I've seen videos where a small amount of sugar solution was added to a cask, and read about it here and there. Perhaps some breweries do and some don't.

I think you are right. I don’t think that you can ever really say that ‘no one does that’ in brewing. There seems to be plenty of breweries that experiment and subvert expectations. For instance I didn’t believe that anyone made beer with bread yeast, then I discovered Norwegian Sahti. Wild!

So, how did it go? All well i hope?

Looks/smells reasonably promising. Sample that I drew for SG measuring tasted OK. Bottled it Sunday and the couple of PET testers have not firmed up much yet, but that's not that surprising. Once it's looking clear and like it's carbed up I'll probably crack one in the interests of research.
