Log: | I use a copper wort chiller and pour the wort through a stainless spaghetti strainer into a bucket. After 7-10 days I transfer to a glass carboy for another 4-5 days. Then I chill the carboy in the fridge for 24-48 hours before transfering the keg. (I found that chilling like that before bottling helps everything settle making a cleaner beer). Ferment at 66°-70° |

Carbonation: | Carbonated at 15 psi for 3 days then set at 5 psi for dispensing |
