Time will tell if this last brew (AG#9) will turn out a good one or infected.
While transferring from the kettle to the fermentation bin a towel was soaking up wort (gambled that the temperature was still around 90deg) and the first time of using yeast slurry.

As stocks of conditioned beer are running low another brew with the aim of using up some of the Saaz, Northdown and Challenger hops. The aim is to focus on at most 3 core hops for most brews.

This is the first time reusing yeast slurry, which is looking like a solid start to fermentation.

This brew was the first use of an android application instead of the web based brewlog. A suprise discovery is that wrapping the tablet in clingfilm (a diy approach to protect against splashes) cleans the screen.

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
