Taste Notes
I overcarbonated with sucrose priming. I "decanted" a pint and I think it had too much body so maybe mashing at a lower temperature next time will be what I'll do. The flavor is right on, and it does need a healthy amount of carbonation, I shot for 2.5 volumes but went over. Notes
Got low efficiency, should have waited longer on the mash and ran off slower, it should have taken me half hour but it ran off in 15 minutes. Color and bittering were right on. I will reduce the amount of apricot since the yield is so low. The trub loss was at least a gallon in this batch, will try a siphon next time and let the trub settle more before transport.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
