What's the gravity?
I was inspired by this recipe last winter and brewed up a batch.
My Roselare packets were old (out of season) so I pitched 2 in a 5 gallon batch.
It's been 8 months and I never really saw a pellicle, but I finally tasted some yesterday and it was beautiful. I wanted to pull another sample, but resisted.
Tasted about as close to Jolly Pumpkin's La Roja as I could have hoped, maybe slightly less complex but definitely sour, funky and no off flavors.
So should I bottle it up now and capture the deliciousness, or wait the full 12-18 months. I just can't see it getting much better. Any suggestions?
