Pvershot mash temp initially, started at 163ºF, but I added cold water, about 2 qt., and ended up with a mash temp of 154-155ºF. I let it rest at that temp for 60 min, which by the time I added cold water, it had already rested for about 20 min at 163ºF. I then sparged with 175ºF water .
|
|
Fermented in primary for 2 weeks, then racked to secondary.
|
|
Taste at first racking was very good. Malty and hoppy, just as I remember this beer being. Tried my first pint on 12-13-04, this brew is malty and hoppy, almost sweet with maltiness.
One week later, 12-20-04, this beer is already changing. There is definate malt and lots of hops, but it is becoming balanced now, and does not seem sweet. The only fault I can see right now is that it is not clearing up very well.
