Tasting Note

Today at 10:00 I put one bottle on the fridge. I just have it, and this one is amazing if you love your hops. I wonder if a non-hop-head person will think this is too strong, but for us is just darn great. A little bit hazy, but I used oat flakes so I expected this. It Is so fresh and light that I could drink a six pack (unfortunately I need to chill more bottles). I think it needs another week or so to carbonate up to level, but taste-wise it is really nice. Mandarina Bavaria rocks---I will write about this another day when I actually take the time to taste it slowly. BTW, I just found that Mandarina Bavaria is the hop used by one of my favorite craft beers (taste wise, right on the spot). I will measure FG and such some other day.

Tasting Note

Just having another one. This one was chilled after three weeks in the bottle, and now it is perfect. Hoppy, citrusy, and light. It is not crystal clear, but close enough. I will try to open one tomorrow at noon to bet a good picture.

Notes

I want to try a super-citrusy Mandarina Bavaria. High altitude brewing at 2800 meters over sea level (9180 foot for those that use imperial). Lots of hops but low relative hop utilization due altitude (check https://beerandbrewing.com/ask-the-experts-brewing-at-high-altitude/#:~:text=As altitude increases, the boiling,a brewer at sea level.).
K-97 because it works well at this altitude and with my fermenter (plus enhances citrus side of the hop). ANOVA sous vide stick to keep mash temperature super precise.
