the MJ20 is safe - the krausen doesn't go nuts. i'm just about to try one of mine. hmmm... bubblegum(orange & banana). lush
A second week of carbonation and it will be fine. 1 finger of head from a high pour. so ready to drink 4 weeks from pitching. not bad at all.
hope you enjoy yours.
Well, I'm an impatient bugger, so I gave this 3 days carbonation time, the plastic bottles were absolutely ROCK hard, and this is one seriously nice brew. Plenty of hoppy overtones and a banana and citrus note on the back end. Absolutely flipping amazing!
I was worried for a while, seems my heatpad threw a rod halfway through one night and the temps hit 27 degrees! Nightmare, bought a new one PDQ and set it up, temps held nicely at 25 for the duration of the brew (Temp monitor from work, rigged to a data logger lol)
The rest are sat in my beer storage at the minute at 20 degrees, wont be touching them until this weekend.
I am so over the moon with this brew, its like having a metric butt ton of Hoegarrden/Erdinger in the house just waiting to be drunk. This is now a regular in my brewing arsenal, and will be getting brewed regularly... very regularly...
Thanks for the recipe tip Dad!
