We'll be finishing off this Barclay Perkins record today. With all things fermentation related.

First up are the gyling details.

Pretty simple this.

Column 1:
Volumes of the wort in barrels, firkins and gallons.

Column 2:
Gravity of the worts in SG. Obviously, with the 1000 missed off.

The three worts combined were 113 barrels, 2 firkins and 1 gallon at 1077º.

Fermentation record is next.

Column 1: Day
Day of the week

Column 2: Time
Time of day. "E" = PM, "M" = AM.

Column 3: Saccr.
"Saccharometer". The gravity in SG.

Column 4: Therm.
"Thermometer". The temperature in Fahrenheit.

Each row records a stage in the fermentation. It's not a full record, covering the first two days and then jumping to racking time. the beer was racked at 22:00 on 12th October with a gravity of 1027º and at 59º F.

Now onto yeast details.

Column 1:
Date and time pitched.

Column 2:
The temperature in Fahrenheit.

Column 3: yeast
lbs of yeast, beer it was harvested from, that beer's gyle number.
For example: 30lbs of yeast from SDP, gyle number 113.

Finally, one I'm not 100% sure about. I think it's details of when the beer was cleansed. That is, when is was moved from a round fermenter to pontos for the yeast to be removed.

First row:
Date and time; "ins." inches - distance from the brim of the vessel to the surface of the liquid; "Heat" the temperature of the wort in Fahrenheit.

Second row:
"Hrs." Time in hours between pitching and cleansing; "Sacc." gravity of the wort in SG.
That was fun. Anyone up for more punishment? I could run through what I call "Scottish format" brewing records. If anyone could be arsed enough to read it.
