Finally got to brew a batch... Long time in the making. Brewed up my Amber Ale on Labor Day weekend , for us Yanks .
Smoked a Pork Butt at the same time. Time ran late, so I put the ale in a clean carboy with an airlock. Had to lower temp to pitching temp which took 3 days, life got in the way so it was 10 days b4 pitching. At 4 days I started seeing krausen, ...did I pick up a wild yeast ???? Not sure .... After 10 days pitched rehydrated US- 05 satchet . 3 days after I've got krausen again in the carboy... Guess I'll find out what it will taste like in a couple of months. I did keep the temp at 68* whilst waiting for a day off to pitch the yeast. I'll raise temp to 72* for last couple of days before cold crashing.

Finally Brewed !!!
