Taste Notes

Color more brown than usual and stronger taste think used too much honey. Champaine yeast took off in this one this time and wine yeast failed to launch at all. had to wait until the carbonation was down to bottle.

Notes

took 5 months to fermint due to high sugar content. recomend stop firmenting at about 3 months so some sweetness flavor is left and not so high in alcohol content.
