The BSB2012 IPA (100% Centennial) had been sitting on dry hops for 13 days, I wanted to get this into the bottle asap as I put a serious dent in the "The Drama" stock on Canada Day. Near 20 Litres of Centennial goodness went into the bottle. Looking for a carb around 2.4 vols/Co2.
Next up was my "#20 Impromptu, American Red Ale". If you recall, the S04 has crapped out around 1.018 on account of near 20% crystal malt and a high mash temp. To counter-act the sweetness, I racked to secondary on top of a 4 Litre Cascade hop tea. 11 days it sat, the results were a more pleasing 1.014. This also left me with about 24L into the bottle. Again, 2.4 vols was the carbonation target.
Finally, I would have liked to bottle my 77 Ringwood Stout but damn if I didn't find myself completely out of Bottle caps, Bottles and Priming sugar! I opted to move this off the primary cake (22 days) and into a secondary for further condition. One item of note, man did this yeast cake look funny. The consistency was like nothing I've ever seen. Very chunky! I hope it's not infected! We'll see if anything pops up in the secondary.
