Kegged : Woodfordes Wherry Real Ale (KIT)

The Wherry is now filling my other pressure barrel, after a bit of hooharr but I'll go into that in a bit.

The beer finished at a respectable 1010 SG, so 4% ABV, just nice for a session beer.

Primed the Barrel with 80g of castor sugar dissolved in a little warm pre-boiled water and transferred the beer into the nice clean Barrel. Capped the barrel and left it to condition and clear some more.

Came back to it a little later to find the barrel tap was leaking beer all over the Cabin Brewery floor.

As a temporary fix, I wrapped the tap with electricians tape to help with the leak, and ordered a new tap online. The tap came two days later and I released the pressure from the barrel, replaced the tap and injected Co2 back into the barrel.

In total I lost about a pint of beer, so not all that bad, and I hope that the Wherry will survive, I'll know in a few weeks after a proper condition.

Brewday : Woodfordes Wherry Real Ale (KIT)

Made up the last of my Beer kits today, a Woodfordes Wherry Real Ale, I have done this kit three times now and it's always come out a nice light Ale.

It's a two can kit so no extra ingredients apart from water are required and we picked this kit up on sale at £14.00, so a bargain beer at that.

I've made this kit up as per the instructions with no tweaks as it's a good beer as it is.



This is going to go in the other Pressure barrel once it is all done


I'm going to ferment this in the Cabin Brewery so I hope the nights don't get to cool, it's had it's yeast pitched and I'm just waiting for fermentation to begin.

The starting SG came in at 1048, so around the 4% ABV mark and less than £0.50 per pint
