Not Avery heavy carbonation though. However it's enough.

Turned out wonderful. It could be drank all day. Fruity not too sour or too sweet. My critics loved it.

First sour

I'm bottling my first sour today, perhaps a sixer of this is in order. It's quite strong.

I wish I knew how to add a picture. It's beautiful looking, clear as can be. The flavor is umm chocolatey rummy. I'm not sure if I like it or not. But it does taste good as far as no off flavors. It's very interesting and very very stout.

I brewed some ale , not sure when, but I stashed it under my backyard deck to see how it would carbonate in that location. Just a 12 pack. I forgot about it and just found it during clean up. It's in dark brown bottles but possibly could have been exposed to sunlight no extreme temperatures as I...

I tried again last night after I had beer on ice. It still taste like bananas, mild but there and is no longer sweet. I caught a buzz from just one. Rather tasty. One more week until Octoberfest

I do the same with caps Christmas beer red and green caps, spring gold and silver, fall orange and brown and summer custom caps like flags and dice etc.

Beer can be just like your partner. If you don't give enough sugar well..... You know the rest

That bottle looks like plastic? I've never used plastic although Mr. Beer kits have plastic bottles. Clear is not a good choice for bottles, the beer will taste skunky from the light. I use dark Amber glass bottles.

Will do. The party is the last Saturday of October so it goes in the cooler on ice that Wednesday.

Not 5 gallons. The proper amount for 5.

Geez I hope so. Following this thread I followed advice on bottling. The recipe called for 4 days primary then rack to secondary for 10 days then bottle condition for 30. It did not mention priming sugar but I used a standard 5 gallon bag of corn sugar boiled for 5 and swirled in at bottling.

Thanks. That makes me feel better bc at room temperature. I won't drink it. I think I'll order the beer labels.

I'm kind of worried now. I cracked a bottle after 10 days in bottle condition and sampled it at room temperature. It's sweet. I've never cracked a bottle before 30 days in the past. Also very foamy. Will this change? It tastes like bananas with lots of brown spots from sugars in ripening, sorta...

Thank you All.

I just purchased a tilt Hydrometer. Does anyone use this or have any advice?

So I just bottled. Original brix 15 final 8. It is slightly sweet and taste like banana bread with some bubble gum at the finish. Really strange but very tasty. I've never had a beer like this.

That was very informative. I understand a lot of what you described and will read about what I don't fully understand. Especially the spec sheet checking, I never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. I have a lot to learn. Thank you.
