Time to get to know strata hops – clean grain base and plenty of strata hops – Pomona yeast to help bring out the hop flavour.
Brew went to plan, approx 24L in fermenter.
Fermentation was fast as usual for Pomona – dry hop day 3 at about 1.018. Temperature increased to 20.5 then to 22 for rest phase.
Day 12 temperature decreased slowly and incrementally to 14C, then crashed to 3C and let sit for 24hours before transfer to keg.
Total volume clear of trub approx 20L.
FG 1.012 approx 7% ABV.
Decent aroma, nice west coast style brew.
