| Log: | Allow 7 days for primary fermentation using blow-off fermenter. Must use a blow-off fermenter, the beano makes the intial fermentation kick. Transfer to secondary. Add 1 tbs of finings gel to cup of cold water and allowed to swell for 30 minutes. Heated to 82C then cooled to 30C before adding to secondary. Topped to 5 gallons with coldwater. Insert standard air lock. Allow to ferment another 7 days. |
