Taste Notes

3/24/12 - Too much lemon; Either cut back on amount of pulp with white parts to use, cut back to one lemon, or use a strainer in the boil to collect the pieces; Still too sweet with the higher than usual gravity reading; considering pitching a champagne or cal ale yeast to finish it up if gravity will not go down and calling it a shandy on account of how much lemon flavor is coming through. 5/18/12 - In the keg almost a month. Lemon has balanced out with the malt and yeast flavors and aromas. It actually turned out quite well. Lemon no longer overpowers the final product. Second fermentation started in the secondary after initially stalling. Finished at 1.010…what I was shooting for.
