Well done matey! hope it turns out a cracker!

[smdjoachim]

6 days of fermentation @ 19deg and a couple of days of a reel bad eggy smell.



Now has fermented down to 1012.
Attenuation of 75%



Will rack off into secondary for a couple of weeks to let some more yeast drop out.
And collect some yeast to add to the collection.
