NUKEY BROWN FERMENTING


The Nukey Brown was brewed on this Sunday during a heavy rain storm. But the rain storm was not a show stopper, matter of fact it was kinda soothing watching so much rain fall. Anyway, E.C. Beer got the job done. The Nukey Brown Ale was brewed. I added a full pound of flaked oats to the specialty grain sack. At the end of the brewing, I also through a curve at the brew and put in 11oz of corn sugar. That was the total amount of "Priming Sugar" that I had left over from previous brews. And since I have switched to another type of priming agent, I wanted to put the left overs to use. I expect that the brew will have a little extra "Kick in the Pint!". Anyway, the OG ended up at 1.045 which was good. That make a total potential Alcohol By Volume of 6% if all goes well. The Wort was capped with a airlock and placed in its dark resting place at 4:30pm Sunday afternoon. At 9:30pm that night, the magic was beginning. Checking it this morning (Monday) it was fermenting strongly! Yea Baby! This Brew is on track for sampling by June 14 2010. Sooo, this will give enough time for ya to clean up a pint glass! Check out the video below for some Airlock Action!
