New Steel Initial Fermentation




The initial fermentation is as vigorous as last time. I lost around six cups of beer overnight and it made a slight mess as the foam escaped the overflow container. This Safale yeast is pretty good stuff if you don't want to worry about stuck fermentations. I'm going to try and keep track of how much beer I lose, not that it's a worry. I can make it up when I bottle with a little extra water in with my bottling sugar. It appears a bit darker than what I had hoped but as long at it tastes good, I'll be fine. Kat said "your beer needs to learn some manners!" this morning while she was in the kitchen making us waffles for breakfast. The beer going into the overflow sounds a bit like passing gas (which it should, because it is...).
