SMaSH beer with Golden Promise grain, Motueka hops, and Pomona Yeast.


Day 1: Sunday evening 8pm – Midway through fermentation, gravity 1.038 / abv 3.1%, bubbling away happily at approx. 4psi.
Day 2: Monday morning 9am 1.017 – very fast fermentation. I added dry hop at 10am due to the gravity reading being under 1.020 – it was a little earlier than anticipated but I’m sticking to the numbers on this one – very fast ferment. Attenuation reading at 72.2% with a total likely being around 80% to 85% so Dry Hop now allows for any additional sugars released by the hop enzymes to be processed before the yeast goes dormant (approx. 10% attenuation and 7-8pts gravity to go).
