Pretty much used OP recipe.
10/10/2011
OG 1.68
Had a banana factory in my basement for 11 days while in primary and it got to 1.016 with no bubbles, last night I racked to secondary.
Immediately fell in love with my beer just by the color alone. What a color? I think the color tasted great even before I sampled. Quite honestly the taste shocked me. After my first 2 batches being pretty hoppy IPA's, it took a second to recogonize the complexity of the beer. Dry, Fruity, damn smooth. It's going to be a long few weeks.
Sitting outside now at about 50F.
I've been kegging, but I might have to bottle a few and have my wife hide them and swear to not let me have them for a few months.
Thanks
The red clone recipe that I started a week before this is still bubbling away at 18 days (OG 1.082). Seems I have a somewhat dyslectic couple of batches, a blue that's going to around 7%, and Red that might be on it's way to 9%.
