  Yeah, I have Palmer's book and looked at that section. I was just really surprised by the
  flavor of this beer. I'll chalk it up to not enough experience and let the beer sit for a

  Not really vinegar. Just really strong apple. Like taking a bite out of a granny smith. I

  So I've now successfully brewed 4 batches, all of which were in a glass carboy and all of which
