nice beer for a cold winter's night-thanks for the recipe
so, I brewed this end of december, and it's been sitting in the secondary at basement temps (low 60's) since mid February.
it was excellent mid-april. i took a sample about a week ago, and it just seems kind of...muddled. don't know how to describe it. r2, i remember you saying something about how this goes from good to bad to awesome, is this what you're talking about?
only one way to find out, gotta taste it.
i pitched 2 packs of us05 and it was at 1.032 within 10 days.
Do you think this would taste okay with a couple sliced peppers added to the secondary to give it just a slight amount of heat to go along with the bittersweet chocolate notes?
I want to make an Imperial Pepper Stout and this looks like a great candidate for adding a couple peppers...
Thoughts?
I added a very small amount (mL's) of bourbon to my glass and liked it quite a bit. Bourbon/oaking this would do wonders.
