Taste Notes

When tasted after the primary fermentation had completed, it was very good. Tasted like a wonderful California Common beer with a bit more hoppiness. When tasted after secondary (after fruit puree addition), the beer tasted of a good amount of apricot however the great beer flavor seemed absent. Hopefully this will balance out a bit during carbonation and conditioning.

Notes

6 lbs peaches fresh, cut and smoked for 1 hour with some bourbon, then cubed and frozen with pectin enzyme for use later during secondary fermentation. Brew day went well and no mistakes were noted. Excellent sanitation was used all the way through. Primary fermentation was done in a glass fermenter for eight days. Secondary was done in the plastic fermentation bucket as used with fruit beers for eight days with the peaches added. A yeast nutrient was used and Safale 05 ale dry yeast was used. Fermentation started quickly and lasted several days.
