Gravity today: 1.006. I think I'll bottle on Saturday. Taste is interesting. Not sure how to compare it.
Got krausen on my starter this morning, so that's a good sign. From what I've been reading, it's supposed to finish very dry & hint at sweetness. Taste will be interesting to note. Here's a pic of the WL029 starter...
So question, gents: When I did the gravity yesterday, there was a raft of foam and yeast (?) sitting on top of the beer. I assume this is the krausen I hear so much about (sorry...still a noob).
Should I wait until this sinks before I bottle? Even though (I believe) the FG has been reached already?
Thanks, as always.
I pitched the yeast into the starter with only about 4 degrees difference. I went to bed before it started, so idk how long it actually took to get going.
I want to arrange it so that those of us brewing it trade a bottle or two so we can sample each other's recipes. I thought that'd be the best way to judge them on average?

I've also decided to do something a bit different & add the honey & molasses in secondary. When did you add them?

Lucky for that ****** engineer that, at the last second before signing off, erased BS2...jackass ho.
Got an OG of 1.054 against estimate of 1.061. Maybe didn't stir it enough? My efficiency is usually through the roof. But this way, it is a bit closer to the original. Close enough.
