Taste Notes

not bad... not bad at all. it's a nice heavy lager. pretty good. not bad for first brew on this equipment, and no water measurements.

Notes

fermenting around 55-65 degrees ambient temp in garage. cooler at night with door cracked, down into 50s. banana fruit / sulphur smells first two days, likely due to the warmish lager yeast. ideally this yeast should be pitched around 50 degrees, not 65+. hopefully chilling down a bit at night will help attenuate some of that ester production...
