Brewed a Hair of the Dog - Adam clone
a big beer supposed to start at 1.094 and finish at 1.020
- started 1.105 - used a 2 L starter
had an intense fermentation of about 4 days
finished 1.055
added oak and cherries - thought the fruit might help kick up fermentation
shook the carboys
after a couple of weeks - I transferred to new carboys
- added a 2 L starter of champagne yeast
had a flimsey fermentation down to 1.050
all using my refractometer
Not sure if I should try to start again - maybe a bigger starter ? or just keg it and drink it !
Cheers
