1st kit brew made with tap water + Campden.

SG 1014 on Fri 14 and Sat 15 May. Roused on Sat night.
FG 1014
ABV 4%
Barrelled Mon 17 May 2010
Barrelled with 70g caster sugar (~30g white, ~40g light brown) in ~250ml water
6g gelatine powder, rehydrated and heated in 100ml water
Pretty clear Thu 27 May 2010, bottled 6.
Seems properly sealed…
Maybe started drinking a bit early – took an age to clear, even with finings, but was almost as good as the first one (maybe a little less hops flavour). Still very nice!
