Presidents Sierra American Pale Ale – Beerworks Craft Brewery Series
I got hold of this one “Presidents Sierra American Pale Ale from Beerworks Craft Brewery Series (aka http://www.lovebrewing.co.uk), because I really enjoy the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and is still looking for a copy/clone.
Everything comes in a box, truly just need to add water. Be it that you got a pot aka FV and all the other gubbins you need for home brewing. Nicely packed in a very nice looking box and it even came with a muslin bag.
The only bad point is, that the manual aka “the how to” includes all their brews, which just give you more to read. This leads to more to read* and more time searching for that bit of info for the kit you are doing now.
Mixed it all into my new 30L pot, after I siphoned the Dirty Marilyn’s Secret into the Coopers FV for its turn on the dry hopping, set it off at about 26c and OG 1047.
Doh, forgot to take more pictures of the Beerworks Craft Brewery Series’ box insides so you my dear reader could see what it looked like, oh well until the next time :)
*yes I know “reading”
the first bit of bubbling from the air-lock happened and it spooked the dog :)
Six days in and it got a bit cold, 17c, so I moved it to a warmer spot in the house. Over the last 6 hours the temp have climbed to just over 19c. And the bubbling has kicked off again, nearly every 30sec we hear it talk to us.
The bubbling went down to about every 2 min after nearly 10 days in the pot. As I couldn’t wait anymore I siphoned it over into my Coopers FV, for the dry hobbing of the Citra hobs, as it would be easier to bottle from that one. The FG was just over 1010, so about 5%. Bottling day in five.
Bottled 42 500mls today at a FG off 1009, so a bit over 5%. The sample tasted yummy and I think we are in for a winner. Now only 2 weeks to go before first QC …
