Winter Gold Pale Ale Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Yeast was pitched to Speidel Plastic Fermenter - 30L (7.9 gal) (Christmas gift). Having 4.5 gal wort in this fermentor would not show CO2 escaping through airlock for 3 days. However, krausen formed nicely around the entire vessel and the sediment was smooth. The beer was transferred directly to a 5 gal corny keg on 1/14/14 with about 1/2 gallon head space. CO2 was supplied at 25 psi, then burped to release any oxygen. CO2 was added again and the keg was agitated for 1-2 minutes to thoroughly mix the CO2. The keg is stored in the garage at 50 deg F for 3 days.
