Taste Notes

Brewing and bottling this batch currently. Will update with details as they arise. brew date: 1/25/2015 Projected two plus weeks in primary at 68° first 24hrs , 70° until complete. Three to four weeks bottle conditioning, then in the fridge until perfect
. - Day 1-2 extremely aggressive fermentation. Rigged a blowoff tube for the first time. 33% headspace was crushed lol
- Day 3-5 Replaced blowoff with airlock. Steady fermentation. Slowing on day 5. Still steady though. 1-2 bubbles through airlock every minute or two.
- Day 8! Still actively fermenting. Has not slowed at all. Actually fermenting slightly faster!
-Day 9 Chugging away. Fermentation sped up again steady bubble or two a second.. wow!
-day 11 airlock activity finished out. Going to test gravity in a couple days
-Day 21 fermentation completed. Added 5oz corn sugar, bottling bucket and bottled. Tasted of strong booze and lots of other flavors- malty, honey, clove, vanilla, bananas. Definitely needs to meld and mellow. Will check back in about 2wks and 2 days for a taste from the bottle and to check aging. Got a little over two cases so got some testers.
-March 7th, day 41(I think). Put bottles in fridge. Will taste again in two weeks. Fridged and Tasted one a week ago and not ready. Gonna be good though. -
----after about three weeks in the bottle and three weeks in the fridge... PERFECT. BOOZY AND MALTY.. YUM. definitely going to get even better with ageThis Recipe Has Not Been Rated
