Hazelwood’s Brewday Part 2

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m pretty well full of beer at the moment because people were buying me beer all afternoon . Drinking Port at home now.

I did some more work on my brew shed today. I finished the electrics and put the glycol chiller in place today.

I hope the electrics were before the beer!

I know the glucose will drop it down a bit more but are you worried it will be a bit too sweet, or do you purposely aim for them to finish high?

I took another gravity reading for that bitter and as suspected it hadn’t finished fermenting. The reading is now exactly as expected at 1.014 putting the ABV at a little over 4.3%.

This morning I kegged the Czech lager. The finishing gravity was 1.008 for an ABV of 5.7% so that should keep the lager boys happy once it’s cleared, carbonated, and conditioned.
