Hey all,
Used Coopers extract 3.7 # IPA and added 2 # DME light. I also used 1 # honey to dry it out and up the Alc. I added 1 oz cascade pellets for the cool down,8 min.
I used a safale s04 yeast 59-75 degrees and fermented at 70 degrees. It went like crazy for about 3 days. Did it ferment too hot, or was it the honey I added. Tastes OK but stong dry flavor, instead of smooth. 9 days primary 18 days sec and currently 7 in the bottle.
If I lager it in the cold for the next few weeks will this mellow it out.
