The airing and watering down made all the difference. So I have about 6 Lt @ 67% to oak. pretty happy for a first go but think next time I will run slower and hopefully get a tighter transitions between heads/hearts/tails as I think my yield was relatively low. At least I can run the feints in the next bourbon wash.
Thanks guys. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

All round very happy with this style of fermentation.
Plumby wrote:They should be OK under cling wrap, back when ( 5 or 6 years or more ) I was making beer I never used a lid on my fermenters just cling wrap. When they were done fermenting I just left them until bottling time. As long as you don't remove the cling wrap lid there will be a layer of CO2 on top of your wash that protects it.
