I pulled a sample of my Pliny clone tonight, and it's at 1.010 after 5 days. I went ahead and emptied my saison keg, took it out and filled it with oxy clean, and put the fermenter in the fridge to cold crash. Tomorrow I will rack it and add the first round of dry hops.
The sample tastes fantastic. I'm pretty excited for this one.

Finally a good use for winter: cold crashing before racking to keg!


This is a zombie dust clone (all citra APA) that assuming it doesn't clog the keg will be delicious at thanksgiving

gotta love when a plan comes together. I'm still tweaking my set-up in Beersmith, trying to find the right boil-off percentage. The last couple beers I've ended up with more volume at obviously lower gravity. In the end, it's irrelevant, whats a couple points anyways? Well, this time, I ended up about a half gallon high after the boil, but a better than expected efficiency put it just 3 points off expected OG. My old friend WLP001 took care of that though, taking it down to 1.01, a couple points lower than calculated, so we are right at 8%, where I want it to be.



Of course, none of this really means anything in the long run, because regardless of the numbers I have 5 gallons of beer that tastes good.
