Summary:<\/p>\n

This will be a revisit to the popular partial mash Red Ale of last year.<\/p>\n

30 Jul 7:00PM :: Yeast starter created.<\/p>\n

31 Jul 9:00PM :: A very good brew session. \u00a0The wort had a solid, steady boil with not even an attempt at a boil over for a good 45 minutes. \u00a0Pitched a very active yeast starter at 29 hours at a perfect 80 degrees. \u00a0The initial quantity is about 5.2 gallons in the fermentation bucket.<\/p>\n

04 Aug 11:00PM :: This was the fastest fermentation I have ever seen.. literally 3 and a half days.\u00a0 24-hours after pitching the yeast, the S-airlock had a near continuous bubble stream: 4 second-long bursts, with less than 1 second between bursts.\u00a0 There was also no overflow of the S-lock, unlock the previous batch of Heavy Honey Hefeweizen.\u00a0 The speed of the fermentation probably has something to do with the ABV being about .5 to .75% more than a similar batch taking 2-4 days longer to ferment.<\/p>\n

Yield was 1x 1-liter snap top, and 42x 12oz bottles.<\/p>\n

15 Aug 7:00PM :: Sampled a bottle.\u00a0 The head generation was only adequate, but was definitely better than the last batch at this point.\u00a0 Since this batch is in the high 4% range, the alcohol was prominent.\u00a0 Overall, good taste.<\/p>\n

05 Sep 9:00PM :: Sampled two bottles over the last two days. \u00a0One had good carbonation, the second only decent carbonation. \u00a0The taste is very good.<\/p>\n

09 Sep 6:00PM :: Feedback on this beer was that it was decent. \u00a0Many of the bottles had no carbonation again, which is getting frustrating. \u00a0The taste of the beer, while good, was “off” from what I expect Irish Ale to be. \u00a0I need to solve the problem with lack of carbonation.<\/p>\n
