Raised temp to 60 degrees for a few days
Put back in fermentation chamber and slowly lowered temp to 32 degrees
Lagered for 2+ months
Bottled to 2.3 vols |
|
Tasting notes | Very good beer, with no individual flavor standing out. Very well balanced and flavors blended nicely.
High mash temp left it plenty malty, and offset some of the increased hop levels, while also leaving a slightly lower ABV beer than expected.
Tried the beer about 16 months after brewing and it was completely different. The toasted and caramel flavors really took over the beer. Still delicious but now somewhat overpowering. |
