Had my last brewday this year yesterday. An uneventful day brewing a simple pale ale. As I have two +5%ABV beers on tap at the moment and a 6.4%ABV conditioning as we speak, I reduced the grain bill to aim for a sub 4%ABV beer. 3.5kg Maris Otter Pale malt and 350g of Carapils yielded 5 gallons of wort at 1.041. 100g of Cascade pellets and 20g of Amarillo pellets were added during and after the boil. As last time I left the wort in the boiler overnight to settle before transferring to the fermenter.
Wort temperature was 14C. Last time I brought the wort temperature up to 20C before adding the yeast. This time added the yeast, Liberty Bell, and moved it to the brew fridge set at 20C. It'll be interesting to see if and when it starts bubbling.
