Notes
014 Grain supplies purchased at Barley & Wine, Modesto, CA. Oxygenated wort primary O2 @ 40 psi for 30 sec. This was supposed to be a 7 day primary ferment, but I got lazy, So sue me! Racked to secondary THU 21 SEP 2006 Pitched 1/2 of yeast starter (500 ml) to secondary fermenter with Fig puree. (Organicaly grown figs from my backyard.) Puree whole figs in blender and pasteurize @ 170F for 10 minutes; freeze puree and seal in vaccum bags for later use in secondary fermenter for a 7 day secondary ferment. Thaw puree in microwave to pitching temp. (NOTE: It is not necessary to pitch more yeast into the secondary fermenter, it is a matter of perference. Also experiment with different yeast strains for a sweeter or drier beer.)
