After 8 days in the fermenter, on Saturday night I switched off the heating/cooling to the FV to allow the yeasticles to drop out. Not that this is necessary with Fullers yeast as this stuff drops like a stone once it's done its job.
Overnight the Pale Ale dropped in temperature to about 12C and was casked. I filled two pins and also added 50g of sugar and 10g of Styrian Goldings to each. These I've got conditioning in the kitchen for a few days and they'll be moved somewhere cooler towards the end of the week.
As luck would have it, I managed to get another 2 gallons or so out of the FV and into a third pin for drinking. This one is in the utility room set up on the beer engine and is drinking very nicely thank you very much!
