Bottling:

Date: 05/21/2005
Sugars Amount
wheat DME 5/8 cup
corn sugar 3/8 cup
preparing the starter: (tuesday) 1 cup wheat DME, 22 oz water, 1 tube Wyeast 1068 London ESB (at room temp), 4 northern brewer hop pellets: 10 minute boil (pellets/water/DME) , cooled down to 77°, poured into sanitized 32 oz glass jar bottle, capped w/stopper, shook up to aerate, added yeast, capped with fermentation lock (sanitized), dark place -- basement temp is 68°. mfg date on yeast is Mar 15 (barely 2 mos old). purpose -- fast start, extra yeast for bottling (but this brew shouldnt really need the bottling carb kicker) also boiling 3 gal of water this eve
brewday: wort is in 71° T bath: therm claims basement temp is 73°, is this a lie? or is it because the furnace has kicked in again after winter decided to swing back by and say "hey did you miss me?". that is, to be clear, it is snowing today! (btw: the end result of this was a foot of wet heavy snow and some major tree damage; we lost two very large limbs, but gained some firewood -- school was closed the next day because it was impossible to clear the parking areas in time)
rackday: nice coppery color
bottling: 50 bottles, leftovers are good
in the end this beer is overgassed -- but the flavor is great, just make sure you have a large mug handy at the moment the cap is removed :). anyways, perhaps there is a downside to saving some yeast for a yeast boost. maybe these kinds of beers are harmed by it (too gassy) or the fermentation sugars would need to be reduced. maybe i should just save the extra yeast for the next batch
