gravity last Sunday was at 1014 so looks like i worried over nothing - that
quick ferment using the standard kit yeast will probably have some taste
implications, but again the gravity sample tasted exactly how i intended -
nice and bitter. I am bottling over easter and intend to bottle condition
until june when the high (6.1% a/v) will be warmly welcome (even though we
have pretty mild winters in Qld anyway). Thanks for all the advice - i will
look into better yeasts from now on ... planning an all extract ESB next.
