Last night I bottled half a batch - one case- of my porter and racked the other half of the batch on a vanilla bean. I will test it after about a week and see where it is, if I need to add another vanilla bean, or if I can bottle. The porter when I bottled it, running through the hose was lighter than I expected it to be, but it was in the hose which I think makes it appear lighter than in a glass, lol. I hope the porter turned out delicious, I guess I will find out in about 2 weeks. I also bottled half my batch of mild ale with S-04 yeast, and racked the other half on 1 oz of cascade whole hops. This will be my first dry hopping of any beers that I have made so far. I will see if it has any butterscotch flavors in the beer as everybody is mentioning about. I didn't notice any in my test tastings, but I did ferment and condition it cold, which I pretty much do all my beers. It definitely has gotten worm out lately, so I am glad that I didn't make my lager yet. I have to make another batch of my house ale. I want to try it with 6 row, and see how the 'grainyness' that everybody is mentioning is in my house ale, shich is an amber/pale ale. I want to find the recipe for the restaurant cheeseburger in paradise, the Island Ale, it is so good, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the internet. I also want to make a wheat ale, and use my T-58 yeast. So the wheat ale, my house ale, and the lager are the next 3 brews that I am going to make. I need to make a basic website where I can keep all my recipes that I brewed so far, and my notes of each recipe. I think that'd be neat, and that is kinda on my list of things to do. |
