Above is a shot of the Blanche De Chambly clone taken during primary fermentation. Being a wheat beer I was expecting much more krausen but it did bubble more then usually.
OG was 1.052 and FG came in at 1.010. So this brew finished up with an ABV of about 5.5%.
Here it is all bottled up. There was enough to fill 32 500ml (17 oz) bottles. I was short about 8 bottles, I guess the beer fairies took their share. This was bottled about 10 days ago. It should be pretty much carbonated now. I'll following up with a photo of it in a glass once I crack the first one open.Look for an update on the hops I am growing next....
So far, Dan, are you happy with your new skills here? Was it worth learning it all and doing? You invested a lot of time and money with the equiptment, supplies and learning everything....are you glad you did it like I'm glad I learned how to garden?
ReplyDeleteRibbit - I think it was worth it. With the price of beer the equipment is already paid for. It is a lot of work though.
ReplyDeleteTHat's the truth. And you have to find the place to store the big old suckers while they ferment...but what a neat hobby!
