Week 1
Sample

Taste is there. Tart and sweet with candy and grape skin. But the smell is like vomit/rotten cheese. Going to try to pitch brettanomyces and leave it some time and hopefully that clears up.

Week 4
Sample

Decided not to pitch Brett and just let it ride. Smells waaay less like vomit. More like a blue cheese. Grape is starting to take over the smell. Needs more time to mellow on the nose.
