Notes
Interesting brewing experience - was 5 degrees the day I brewed - so cold that the kettle wouldn't really get to a full "tossing" boil, and I couldn't use my wort chiller because the hose froze.
So, we muddle and do what we can with it.
And the results are fantastic - this is one of the best beers I have ever made - malty with a nice hop balance, tastes straight out of a pub in London. Great color although a bit of chill haze. We'll see if it continues to settle although it's so good I'm not sure it will last long enough to do that. Carbonated it at 10 PSI for 2 1/2 weeks after having spent 3 weeks in the fermenter. Nice carb level - just enough, not "fizzy". Pulls a nice long lasting head too. Again, one of the best I have made.
