We brewed another batch of Alpha King today, since there’s none left on tap and it’s something we should have on hand at all times. Original gravity was 1.062, but it took some extra boil time to achieve, so the fermenters are a little low on volume. Used too many pellets in the boil since we only have Columbus in pellet form. The runoff through the counterflow chiller was very slow and the fermenters have a lot of pellet trub in them.

We racked the two primaries of the Simcoe Pale Ale to a firkin, dry hopping liberally with more Simcoe, and the two fermenters of the London Pride clone got racked to corny kegs for conditioning. Gravities on both batches were higher than expected, perhaps as a result of having split the yeast into the two batches from last week.
