did not boil off enough as per recipe – this was because the boiler was so full it was spilling.
could have had a higher volume in the fermenter however 27L was max it would fit, likely a liter or so left. This did mean less much in the fermenter.
Tried the pressure kit on the fermenter and tweaked it to about 4psi – after a 5days the pressure had dropped off and so i swapped it out for the bubbler – as well as dry hopping at this stage,
lower activity than normal/expected – possibly a bit on the warmer side for fermenting, likely av a little over 21degrees.
bottled 24.5L, FG (1.056 -> 1.009 @ 6.17%) lower than the recipe (1.069 -> 1.015 @ 7.2%)
perhaps a taste of capsicum or vegetable-ish flavour(?)
