So its coming upon the 3-week date for two batches I bottled. I totally botched these with too many beers during brewing and a passed out drunk assisstant halfway through.
I was aiming for a Wanderlust Clone which is a cream type beer with lager yeast and a Brew Haus Pale Ale which I hear is very popular. I believe I switched the yeast on both of the batches. The cream got the pale ale yeast and the pale ale got the lager yeast. I was going on vacation, so I put both of the primarys in a bathtub filled with water and left for two weeks.
I came back and the temperature of the water was ~55F. Both had reached around 1.012 which didn't seem too bad. I secondaried both of them and left them for another 2 weeks. Then bottled.
Valentine's day will be 3 weeks, and like all my batches (up to around 10 or so) I plan on having my fiance test them first.
What do you expect they will taste like? What off flavors will come off of switching up the yeast? I got the gravity down, so I know they fermented properly (by luck I suppose) but I have no idea what they will taste like.
