Notes: Probably won't be bitter enough, note to self; change the hop profile, add the hallertau later, use something else for bittering.
- As expected, hops were a little low in intensity.
- Early tastings were very banana, and alcohol, it really just tasted like some weird banana liquer or something. 5 months later the initial "I'm drinking straight alcohol" mellowed into a very smooth tasty beer. Banana flavours have also mellowed. It's become a favourite at parties, where I'll pour 1 600 ML bottle into 3 wine glasses. Carbonation also really only became apparent after about 4 months, my storage area is generally between 20-23C in summer. |

Notes: One 11.5 gram packet of US-05 was used for this brew, and an apparent attenuation of 82% was achieved. The yeast was rehydrated in the wort, per the manufacturer's instructions.
A second packet of US-05 or a yeast starter would have achieved greater attenuation, but this particular brew benefits from a subtle sweetness.
No off flavors were present in the finished product.
Beer was bottled at approximately 70°F/21°C using 5 oz. of dextrose to achieve approximately 2.5 vols of carbonation. |
