Goose W

The first mini-keg trial underway with 5L of the brew, the rest went into bottles.

Tasting pretty good out the FV and hit the final gravity pretty well.

This weekend had a few bottles of the last brew before summer and it's pretty good.

Today's brewday was fairly uneventful, close to predictions from the calculations throughout. The only small mistake was thinking that I had a lot of wort (5L) spare. After all cooled probably 1L low in the fermentation bin.... still should get 20L out of this batch though.

Going to try reusing the yeast in the a follow on brew.

First brew day for 2011/H2
