A firkin with a difference
You may remember from an older post that I mentioned that we’d be doing a small cask ale tasting/seminar sometime early next year. We’ll be using a glass ended firkin to demonstrate how yeast and finings interact to form a sediment at the bottom of the cask thus allowing bright beer to be drawn from the cask. Well, I just took delivery of the firkin (see photo below) courtesy of Steve Parkes at The American Brewers Guild. It is a very cool piece of kit and I can’t wait to us it. We’ll be announcing the details of the event sometime in January.
