To Aerate ~ Or Not ~ And How?

I believe 1.042ish to 1.014ish is actually the target on that kit.

It's a hoppy session beer.

Oh, Pul eeease! Don't torment me!



I'm toying with the idea of getting the hydi out again tonight ..... not much point though. I'll leave it alone a bit more yet. Maybe the weather'll change and it'll get a bit warmer? Failing that, I think I might buy a bag of coal and get the range going, day and night, for a couple of days. If that doesn't shift it, nothing will.

YorkshireHeat; The avatar may have given ye a clue ....? Anyway, there is no more " Ditch Shitter " on THL, mate. All the guys I came there to sit and listen too have long since walked away. Lately, all I was hearing was " Dirty, thieving f*ckin 'Pikeys' stole my Dogs! Let's burn the b*stards out! ". Err ... Goodbye!

No. I PM'd IanB a week ago. No song and dance. No drama. I don't want to be made a Mod, to make me stay. I just asked if he could please delete my account. I then logged out and really haven't given the place much thought since. When ye move on, ye should never look back. It's the way.


Now; Wonder if I should grab a bag of coal .....

my Wherry stalled at around 1.014, tried rousing it to no avail but it wouldn't go below .014

I was tkling tot he founder of Woodfordes a while ago, adn he has 'let slip' that Woodfordes ales are designed to finish a little higher than the normal 75% attenuation as he prefers his beers to have a bit of sweetness in them. what this generally means is that a 1.042 beer would finish at 1.014 not the 1.010-1.012 that we would expect.

And there is no way anyone should expect an all malt kit to finish below 1.010 . . . . . thats strictly kit n kilo territory
