D’you think that might be enough?....1000 gallons.
bloody hell no wonder you can’t seem to brew enough if you’ve started supping it out of the fermenter, give it chance manI’ve just pulled another batch of Summer Breeze out of the fermenter. Phew! Anxiety levels falling...

It tastes a bit dirty at the moment but it is right out of the fermenter and was siphoned from the last dregs so it’s probably more trub than beer!
I'm making my way through How To Brew by John Palmer and he has pictures of these same storage boxes for fermentation. Would never have thought of using them.Thanks for that - food for thought!

It should go Down well in the may comp?Big day today, I’ve kegged version 3.0 of my Summer Breeze. It tasted pretty good from the fermenter but it’s too early to say whether it’s better than version 2. One encouraging sign - it drove a fruit fly crazy!

Sounds like a planThat’s the plan Leon. I’m thinking of entering V2 and V3 for some independent feedback.
That can be arranged. I will have a co-judge so won't say they are a variant of each other.That’s the plan Leon. I’m thinking of entering V2 and V3 for some independent feedback.
You should harvest the slurry. It will get you at least another 4 goes with it. That's my method for liquid yeast. Make a starter for the first pitch then use the slurry. So at the min I have Czech wyeast 2278 and wyeast 1214 in the fridgeI had a few pints of Summer Breeze V3.0 yesterday and it’s probably the best version so far. This is a picture of it from yesterday looking resplendent in the sun.

I do have a small problem though. I used Imperial Juice yeast and no one seems to have stock at present so I’ve had to order some 1318 for my next batch.
What is your current recommendation on recipe? I fancy trying Summer Breeze but the recipe keeps evolving before I get around to it!I had a few pints of Summer Breeze V3.0 yesterday and it’s probably the best version so far. This is a picture of it from yesterday looking resplendent in the sun.
