I brewed up another 5 gallons of my sweet stout, Moose Musk, with a couple of minor changes to compared to the first batch. Now with having the correct tools and learning how to cool the wort better this batch should exhibit some differences from the first batch.
Note: On cooling the wort without wiping out all of your ice on hand. Bacteria isn't a problem until below 150 degrees thus the primary cooling was done with cold water and dumping it once it got hot. Once the temperature hit 150 range which was in about 10 minutes, I switched it to a ice bath and finished the cooling with using half of the ice required before.
Currently, I have two batches in the secondary fertmenters and one in the primary. Next weekend I will be bottling for the first time both secondary batches and moving this weekend's batch into the secondary. In two weeks the taste testing will begin.
This is the initial site for the organic microbrewery I am setting up. It will go through all of the processes from successes to failures that go along with setting up a brewery first at home then to small scale production.
