Weekend Update: First Pickings of Hops
The temperature in the
fermentation room was gradually raised each day this
past week for the yeast working on the test batch of
the 6ixth Sense Ale. The room started at 64ºF last
Sunday, and reached 80ºF this Sunday.
Spent much of Saturday cleaning and sanitizing.
Sunday, was able to pick just under a pound of the Centennial hops. More hops to follow as the season progresses.
Centennial is one of the "citrusy C" varieties, and is sometimes called a super Cascade.
