So we brewed up the Pub Ale (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f64/pub-ale-21226/) and it's been in the primary for about 2 weeks. Just took a sample and tasted:
- Taste tart or cidery like. Reminds me of the Harpoon Raspberry UFO
- Had a lot of little bubbles like it's carbonated
Here is what we did:
- Mashed and got some channeling, so we adjusted and recirculated some of the sweet running's. The sparge water was too hot at some point too, (175 F)
- Did not have time to do the boil, so we covered the brew kettle with foil, put the lid on and stored in the basement which is about 55 F
This recipe had some brown sugar in it.
The FG should be 1015 but it's at 1020 right now.
It fermented at 64F for 3 days or so and since then it's been between 52 - 55 F
Did I get a sour mash? It's not bubbly now, but was when I first racked off a sample it was; like champagne. Why so bubbly? The brown sugar?
The funny thing is that it tastes nothing like a bitter, but I actually like the taste
Thanks!
(Needless to say, I won't be storing overnight before the boil again -- at least not in a non-airtight container)
