Batch 309, doing it again

Big move is finally over. House is sold, all my good brewing stuff is now at our place in Mexico. First batch here with this equipment. I have to say, the brew day went very well. There was a minor issue having the power turned on to my garage, where I brew. 

This batch really is the same as the last 2 batches, so again, I'm not going to repeat myself, just detail the differences:

I had to toss all my old yeast for the move, so I picked up 2 packs of White Labs WP-01, California Ale yeast. I made a starter since I now have my stir plate here. My only good temperature controlled space is my little chest freezer, so I did the starter in there. That also gets the temp set for fermenting, so win/win.

Looking at my notes, the yeast was the only real difference. Good brew day!


13 Oct 2025 - gravity was down to 1.011 two days ago, so I turned the temp down to 35F for cold crash. Kegged it today and added gelatin for clearing. Harvested the yeast, I got two really nice looking quart jars. Both kegs are in the kegerator getting some CO2. Should be drinkable in a couple of days.
