No. VII Fermentation slowing

Measured today at SG1014 @ 18C. Progress slowing but as the beer is in the cellar this is OK and I'd expect the final gravity to be something like this.

Quite bitter taste, too bitter to be a pale ale, the hops are East Kent Goldings 6.5% alpha, Fuggles 5.89% alpha. Must do the sums to work out how bitter this brew should have been. Anyway it tastes good, just not quite what I was aiming for. It ready for bottling early next week and then ready for Christmas. Perfect.
