Irish Red Ale – brew day
Posted in homebrew, tagged homebrew on February 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Made a yeast starter the day before brew day. This is so very simple, everyone should do it. I whacked my Wyeast smack pack the night before. It was nice and swollen the next morning. Boiled up some water and DME, cooled it down, and pitched the yeast. Within a few hours there was a [...]

This pretty much wiped my wish list out (except for a stir plate, plate chiller, and barley crusher, but those are next): refractometer (only need [...]

(Sorry this video isn’t that great. I tried using PhotoBooth this time, but clearly the quality just isn’t as good as iMovie. Lesson learned!)

After a vigourous fermentation Saturday night through Monday, my stout has been quiet this week. I’ve kept it between 68-72°F this week, probably the best temperature control I’ve had.
