Solstice Brew
Finally did another brew on Wednesday. A Marzen/Oktoberfest lager using pale and Munich Malts which came out a deep golden colour (I guess I should drink more water).
Also have finished the first 19litre of the ale - never fear another 25 litres was sitting in a spare keg and is now in the fridge and under gas - tastes beaut.

The lager is fementing nicely at 11-12c - have a brew belt on it to keep the temp up (on a brizzybrew temp controller) and will be trying to get it up to 18c for a day or so of diacetyl rest.

Another week of ferment and time to rack and lager.

Chillout
I want one of these ...
Yes I know I have the Counterflow job I made but this could be run in series to get down to lager temps.
