SIRE 11 gallons This brew is dedicated to Sire. An absolutely wonderful dog and master food thief. 22 lb. Bohemian Pils Malt 2 lb. Munich - 6 L 135 g Tettnanger - 3.20 AA - 60 min. Wyeast 2565 Kolsch- Pitched yeast on Tuesday, August 4 @ 5 am. 75/25 RO/CITY Big storm last night. Had to reset timers. I think one is not working. O.G. 1.050 F.G. - 1.013 % -    5 SRM - 3.7. BU - 25 TAX FREE BEER TASTES BETTER I have to wait until tomorrow to pitch the yeast. Needs more time to clear. Pitched 1 L in each carboy. Hope it wasn't too much. I don't like DME. Good layer of krausen a day after the yeast was pitched. Thought about a d - rest, but will let it continue. Still active. Needs a thermowell. As of August 10, still fairly active. Today is day 7 so no d rest yet. Later in the week set it to 19 c. Activity has slowed down Turned off fridge to let it rise to 19 C for a few days. Can't toss it on the bench as we are headed for higher temps this...
