Golden Gernade
This was my first try at all-grain brewing with my newly fabricated Gott cooler
mash/lauter tun. It was a minor disaster, but it wasn't the recipe's fault. *grin*

| Yeast: | 6 gram package of Munton's dry ale yeast | |||||||
| Log: | vigorous fermentation just a few hours after pitching after 5 days in primary, fermentation practically stopped gravity was 1.022 (high) so racked to secondary after 5 days in secondary gravity still high (1.020) decided fermentation was over and kegged (bad call) |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | 1/2 cup corn sugar | |||||||
| Tasting: | Kegged in 5 1.3 gallon minikegs. Kept one and distributed rest to other club members. Put my keg in the fridge one week after kegging. Others didn't. Fermentation resumed in the other four kegs and I started getting calls from friends who noticed ominous bulges in their kegs. This batch ruined four kegs, but the fifth turned out pretty good. Smooth and creamy with a nice stiff head, but kind of cloudy. |
