4 Dog Brewery

Since I didn't like the Festa Brews, I am going back to this one. I made it about 15 years ago and it was nice. Cost is $40.50 but I think it is better than that Festa Brew which just didn't taste that good. The wort smelled good, but then again so did the Festa Brew. I toppped up with 7 L of boiled and cooled well water. O.G. - 1.050 F.G. - % - SRM - 14 BU - 30 * MAY DRY HOP FOR FUTURE BREWS * 15 G Coopers dry yeast. Just sprinkled on top. Going good at bedtime. Spewing out of the blow off hose the next morning. Not overly active, but steady. Had to turn on the wall heater because of global cooling. This kit didn't taste that great.

Munich Type 1 Tettnang - 108 grams ( 3.2 AA ) @ 60 min. WLP 833 German Bock ( best yeast so far ) 70/30 RO/CITY O.G. - 1.050 F.G. - 1.012 % -      5 SRM - 3.5 BU - 20 Took the usual 3 days +- a few hours to see any activity in the air lock. I lowered the level of star san in the air lock to the line. I added too much since it wasn't done cooling. Pitching temp - 48 F. The temp varies fr...
