Sibelman - you are correct they were very visible. I use a jug and funnel to bottle, and as I got to the last few litres, the jug was moving them around and they were breaking up into tiny bits - but the kleenex did filter them out. I do not use cleaning agent, just copious amounts of hot water...
I usually get good sedimentation, nothing has changed, SO4 yeast 15 gm per 22 L
3.7% SMASH beer with chinook hops
Only thing I can think of it got to 25-26 C 4 days in to fermentation.
Water treated same as always, AMS and campden tablet
2 tsp AWB and half a gram of MgSO4
thanks, Mac. I used an IBU calculator I found on the internet. I think I am ok with bitterness, but with the beer in question, I was aiming for mainly flavour and aroma.
3.6% SMASH beer with mosaic cryo hops AA 0.213
added as below
2 gm 15 mins 3 gm 10 mins 5 gm 5 mins and 15 gm 3 mins
I calculate IBU as 12.5
cooling down to 30 C 4 hours then down to 18 V in 10 mins
thanks
peebee thanks I think. brewing tomorrow adding 11 ml of CRS and 10 gm of AMS, hoping it will be drinkable........... (half campden tablet before the CRS)
Peebee - this is going right over my head so simple question what should I do with this water to make a 4% pale bitter, hardness as CaCO3 228 Ca 80 - SO4 107 - Cl 65 - Mg 9 - Na 39
thanks
