The yeast started flocculating within an hour and by the next morning the air lock was burping continuously. Today, 4 days later, it is completely fermented out and I'm going to transfer it into secondary probably before I go to bed.

Ingredients:

1 can, Ironmaster Scottish Mild Ale extract
1 can, Bierkeller light lager extract
1 pound, crushed crystal malt
1 pound, Munton & Fison Light DME
1/2 cup, Lactose
1 ounce, Brewer's Gold hop pellets
1 ounce, Cascade hop pellets
1 package, Whitbread dry ale yeast

Procedure:

Standard procedure---put crystal malt in cold water, heat to just shy of boil and sparge into brewpot. Add malt extracts and water, bring to boil. Add Brewer's Gold hops, boil a little over 1 hour. Stop boil, add Cascade hops and chill on the way into fermenter. I tossed the dry yeast directly into the fermenter atop the cooled wort.

Specifics:

Primary Ferment: 4 days
