Been learning loads in my final sprint to finish my new Scottish book.
Particularly about fermentation. And the dropping system that William Younger employed.
I'm a bit obsessed with Scottish fermentations. Because I've suspected that a steaming pile of shite has been written about it.
They grey squares denote when the wort was dropped to a square.
Dead interesting for me. Doubtless dead boring for you.
Just a small taste of the obsessive detail in my new book. Which is almost done. Just the recipes to finish off. 25 detailed ones, 100 others. The last sprint takes the most out of your legs. Mine are totally Donalded. In a duck sort of way.

Fascinating the control of the fermentation temperature.
