Another Whirly Bird creation is happily resting in 12oz long-necks… After 33 days of hard work by billions of little S-04 yeast creatures this beer is ready to relax and get some bubbles. Looks like the final ABV is 4.9%. First pour in a few weeks.

Rye Ale Bottled
After a week of primary fermentation and 21 days of dry hopping (Citra). This beers ready for it’s 12oz home; 54 bottles of goodness (hopefully) are quietly making bubbles and should be ready to drink in two weeks. Looks like a 15ish SRM and ABV measures around 4.6; the latter of which is slightly lower than expected but probably due to the low OG not the FG. First tastes coming soon.
The Stout Gets Bubbles
The new stout from Whirly Bird has got some alcohol in it and is now growing bubbles in its new 12oz homes. The yeast finished primary fermentation on Saturday and we stuck it in 48x12oz bottles. This is the second time we’ve added priming sugar as a batch instead of individually to each bottle so hopefully we have the same, consistent carbonation that we had last time.
Full details to follow on the beer once the finished product makes it into my belly but as of now it’s looking like an atypical 23 SRM, 62 IBU, 4.9% ABV stout of sorts. Initial taste from the carboy on bottling day seem promising.
