The test beer got started on Sunday. 42 litres of wort into the main fermenter awaiting some smaller fermentation vessels for the test. The starters for the Proculture Belgian Golden Ale, Wyeast Ardennes, Wyeast Biere De Garde are set and a few litres have been put aside for Ringwood ale yeast as a 'test' batch without too much yeast flavour, and 5 litres for a lambic blend. The lambic was a last minute decision. The yeast blend pack was originally purchased to 'fix' a problem ferment on the first Aussie Ale of the season but instead it will be used as a test lambic on the same recipe rest of the test beers.

Around 8 litres for each of the 4 large test batches 5 litres of lambic and 2 litres of ringwood. It is looking good for the week for a warm ferment, Night time temps in the 20's and day time temps over 34 until next Saturday night.
