Taste Notes
8/4/12 - note on grain mill that a new one is on order, and grains appeared not properly cracked. After cooling, measure efficiency is only 44%. Boiled 0.5 lbs of corn sugar in equal parts water to make up ~0.7% ABV. Fermenting in carboy...not enough headspace, worry about airation.
OG at 78 F - 1.050
8/5/12 - Blow out! strong yeast activity erupted from water trap so it wasn't moving. Cleaned, sanitized trap/stopper, re-airated wort by shaking.
8/11/12 - SG - 1.010
Boiled 2-3 lbs (1.5 gal ziplocs) of cherries in water and reduced volume for 25 mins. Added to secondary and then racked ale on top. Cherry was flavor was not noticible except for maybe a faintly tart finish. Hop profile was very nice. Tasted like a lager. Fermentation started again after addition of cherries.Secondary at 65 F.
8/22/12 - bottling. FG - 1.010. nice tart cherry flavor/finish. No hop flavor. made hop tea with 3.25 oz corn sugar, 0.5 oz Hallertau + 0.5 oz Saaz and let steep for 45 mins. For clarity, a third transfer would have helped, addition of cherries caused more fermentation.
9/2?/12 - perfect tart subtle cherry finish. Nice hop profile. Maybe a bit one dimensional with cherry flavor.
Next time:
Hop sock into secondary, cherries into sock w/ funnel. Remove cherries by force (will cloud beer). Move to tertiary and allow to settle.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
