I also added some gypsum to the mash and boil and instead of using Irish moss i used a protafloc tablets

Fermenting away nicely:
Overall a good brewday, it fermented down to around 1.006 and is now bottled, i cant wait to ty it. This is the 3rd time ive used lager malt and each time it's fermented right down to 1.006, is this likely down to the malt that it ferments better than other pale malt?
Also the protofloc made such a difference to the clarity that i dont think the irish moss will get a look in again.
