Taste Notes
Tastes good after cold crashing. Bit on the sweet side but that is probably due to high final gravity. Might have to check gravity of bottle in a month or two.
Not a very noticable spruce flavor. Must double spruce next time. Perhaps two additions, one at 30 minutes and one at 15 minutes.
After two weeks in the bottle the sweetness has subsided quite a bit. It now tastes awesome. Notes
2 liter yeast starter -- need bigger flask. Starter kept blowing top.
4 tsp Phosphoric Acid into mash -- pH 5.4
Only used 2 gallons sparge water
Sparge water pH was a bit low. Closer to 5.0
Used 1.5 tsp Phosphoric Acid in sparge
Everything in this recipe was spot on -- volume, pre-boil / post-boil volume, gravity, etc.
Final Gravity 1.019 -- higher than expected. Hopefully fermentation was completed before cold crashing. Perhaps wort was too cold.
Used 4.62 oz priming sugar to bottle. Bottled 50 bottles, -1 that cracked when capping.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
