Taste Notes
Very clean with almost no aftertaste. Slight alcohol taste due to the low hop, high gravity. Substitute more honey to get a bit better flavor, or, reduce overall sugars (by subtracting LME and possibly adding more honey).Notes
Renamed from Honey Bee Ale III to Hornet Ale -
Originally "designed" for a ~3-4% ABV - 1.060 starting gravity was selected based on beersmith's calculations...which the yeast was wrong (5% viability instead of 96%) so we hit 7.something%
Steep grains 30 minutes @ 155F
Boiled over slightly 2x during the boil on this brew session.
Fermenting @ 68F beer temp - primary measured on side via taped+insulated probe, secondary will be thermowell.
Primary appears to have taken off almost exactly 9 hrs (temp logs on brewpi as Honey Bee Ale III)
