This last week has seen a flurry of activity, with the Ginger Beer and the Siberian Crude ( our Russian Imperial Stout ) both being sent through the bottling line, I say bottling line but in reality I'm filling them and the wife's capping them and productivity is up 50% so its all good.
We have been playing around with bulk priming ( previously we have just been using the sugar drops by Coopers, very easy 1 drop per stubby and 2 per long neck ) and have been using light dried malt added to boiling water, cooled and then poured into the fermenter. This requires a little more prep time but will be needed when we start to keg condition. There is a great online bulk priming calculator, you will find the link to it on our new "Handy Links" page.
We have also started another batch of Hoptastic, this one will be brewed on the bench rather than in the fridge as the temperatures are starting to become cooler and more stable.
Also I picked up some Citra hops to try, having tasted other brews that use them I am keen to see how they go.
