Bottling Notes, Pale Ale (wed 26dec)

Bottling notes:


Final Gravity: 1.013


Percent Attenuation: ~ 75%

1 - Ended up with 5 x 24 oz bombers and 32 x 12 oz bottles. Lost a few to some spillage, and accidentally setting the bottling wand down and leaving it open in a cup. I think this batch was also a little more condensed also because I only added 2.5 gallons of cold water instead of the usual 3.

2 - Used a little less than 3/4 cup corn sugar because I want a little less carbonation for this brew. However, because of the reduced volume of this batch, it will probably be just about the same as using 3/4 for 5 gallons.

3 - I also used star-san for the first time which made things much easier to do because I could just run the solution through everything and be confident that it did the job due to the short contact time needed.

4 - I also harvested about a pint of yeast/trub from the bottom of the primary to use later if I want to. Its stored in the fridge.

5 - Moved the bottles up to my room where its a little warmer.
