Very Harry Knuckle Followup

The beer finished at 1020 which puts it at about 9.3%.    I kegged it with 1.6 oz corn sugar and pitched some Nottingham as a bottling strain.  The original yeast was pretty much tapped out I believe.

The beer is very alcohol hot right now.  Its going to have to sit until mid summer before I crack it out to sample it.  It will probably get another dose of dryhops before serving.

I will say that wyeast 1318 really clears a beer nicely.  Two weeks after fermentation started and the beer is very clear.  Clear enough to serve.  A month of cold conditioning should really clear it up.  Another really nice thing about the yeast is that it is VERY easy to crop top.  I probably have a solid pint of gen 2 yeast from an earlier batch of it.  The only thing I am still trying to get a grip on is that it produces a touch of Diacetyl.  Not a bad thing just alittle different.
