16/01/2011 It's been a long time coming

I've finally managed to get round to making some beer, and I've made a double Woodfords Wherry kit. Started on the 16/01/2011, not taking any 'risks' with yeast supplied and using US05 instead, fermentation was finished in 3 days flat, at 1.008!
22/01/2011 turned down fv temp to 5 deg c, to try and clear the majority of the yeast.
01/02/2011 racked to 2 x cornies, and 7 ltr ish to bottling bucket
08/02/2011 added IG above....to be continued!

A new 40ltr HDPE conical is on the way.....more info to follow...this will also require a new temp controlled cupboard...along with it's 120ltr HDPE counterpart....exciting times at the V1 brewery :-)
