Bottled Bock

9th of the 9th, the Earthquake Bock bottled yesterday. shoulda been ready day after the quake, but water was dubious, so bottling had to wait. 39x500ml Renaissance bottles. one Brakspear Triple bottle top broke off.


oh yeah, had checked the gravity a few days before, sitting at 1025 or so, but what the final reading was, ??

finally, another one...

bock this time. put down friday 27th Aug pm.

1.5kg Bock kit
1.8kg muntons light
~500g dextrose
~200g krystal, crushed in the mortar and pestle
bunch of hops from a Dunsandel garden
past expiry date Saflager yeast.

specific gravity 1050 or so.!

bubbling away nicely now. slightly strange smell, but i think its okay, not an 'off' smell. will bottle when ready, a few days away?.
