Notes

brewed 3/15/17

7 gallon water ended up yielding around 4.5 gallon of beer. I had to leave outside to chill. It developed a chill haze which will hopefully go away after fermentation. The beer was racked over a yeast cake for the yeast's 3rd use. The residual beers made the SRM darker than expected but I'm not too worried as it will be racked over berries.

3/30/17
fermentation has slowed and I've transferred the beer on top of berries that have thawed and have been muddled in a mesh bag. The gravity was lower than anticipated at 1.012.

5 of 5

Although the beer finished drier than anticipated there are no off flavors. The beer has a very intense fruit flavor but none of the fake fruit taste I am accustomed to tasting from commercial breweries. Maltodextrin could be added to sweeten the beer if that is your thing but I like my beer on the dry side.
