Brew 0902

One week on ... the fermenting slowed a bit in the middle of the week - it was cold, cold enough that even the heating pad couldn't quite keep the beer above 18 degrees.  It wasn't really a failing of the room as such - everywhere was cold, we had a cold snap.  However, the properly insulated, low ceiling-ed nature of the bar meant that I only had to pop a heater in there for a little while to bring the temperature back up and get things bubbling again.

At the one week mark the fermentation had slowed to almost nothing.  So, time for some hops.

50g of Kohatu dry hops into the mix.... mmm, smells yummy (both the beer AND the hops)

Now to leave it to soak in for another week or so.
