Brew 46- Young Bucks Kegging/Kolsch popping!

Know your target market! The 150 Lashes 'look-a-like' is ready after an appropriate lagering/resting stage in the fridge. WE can't resist the urge to add just a wee more Cascade hops (only 10gms) as a LATE hopping! So it(hops), in a beer sock got thrown in the keg, gassed and refrigerated ready for a final filter and re-kegging tomorrow.
The Young Bucks will be consuming the 150 Lashes from Friday night...

Brew 48- The Kolsch is sitting in a fridge on a 13C thermostat setting fermenting slowly, just the way we like it... right!
