This was my first time using a yeast starter with White Labs liquid ale yeast. I used an Erlenmeyer flask to boil and ferment a 450mL starter, which was very easy to do and produced great results. I'm definitely doing this from now on for all my brews.

| After 4 days in the primary I used a siphon to transfer from the 10-gallon keg to 5-gallon keg. Everything went smoothly using the kegs as fermenters. |

After fermenting in the secondary for 18 days the Bass Clone was bottled from the 5 gallon corny keg. Priming solution was gently mixed directly into the keg before bottling, a bottling bucket was not used but would have been better.
Measurements:
1.012 @ 68 F = 1.013 FG
6.0% ABV |

| Nice taste for my first attempt at a pale ale. The recipe called for using Buton Water Salts which I will try next time to see how it effects the taste. This batch also developed an over carbonation problem after a few months. No broken bottles but I think it was close. I may go back to using carboys and see if there was a sanitation problem with using the kegs as fermenters. |
