I've made probably 20 batches altogether, most of them extract, so I am basically a novice brewer. However I've had pretty good luck with the whole thing, and I've really only had one batch turn out less than great. Many of the bizzare sounding off flavors described by brewers I have never experienced. Not anymore.
The recipe
13 lb 2row
1 lb amber 20
1/2 lb special roast
1 lb carafa 300L
1 lb corn sugar
Brewed it last Saturday, mashed at 148, sparged at 160. Pitched at 65. OG was 1.088. Took a gravity reading this evening, it was at 1.020. What I tasted
Hot hot alcohol that is still burning my chest
Bandaids. Lot and lots of bandaids. (I was always wondering about that one
Old Coffee Bitterness
Butt Funk
And Bandaids.
What in gods name did I do wrong... don't tell me , let me stew. This beer tastes like ****!
