Notes
Medieval ale.
At end of mash, add boiling water to reach 170 F then go directly to fermentor - no sparge, no boil!
Let cool in fermenter before pitching yeast (~12 hours).
Open fermentation - cloth cover only. Fermentation was slow and no foam cap.
Drinkable as soon as fermentation stoped in about a week.
Really funky at first, but settled down in a few more weeks.
Bottled for aging with no priming sugar, but still over-carbonated a bit - try lower mash temp next time.
Not sweet at all, like everyone says it would be without hops.
After 3-4 months it is really quite good with toasty malt, a little smoke, and lingering wild yeast funkiness. Dry, not sweet.
