I just tried a sample from my fourth batch, which has only been in the bottle 5 days, and I really like the taste so far. Its a Belgian Strong Golden Ale, made with the following recipe:
Fermentables
7lb. Muntons Extra Light DME
1lb. Belgian Candy Sugar
Hops
Bittering 1 oz Styrian Goldings; 3/4 oz Fuggles
Flavoring 1/2 oz Styrian; 1/2 oz Saaz
Aroma 1/2 oz Styrian; 1/2 oz Saaz
Yeast
Wyeast 1388 - Belgian Strong Ale
Although it tastes pretty good so far, and I expect it will get better with more carbonation and age, it does taste a bit more tart than I would like. I think thats probably the result of the particular yeast strain.
Any suggestions for balancing the tartness in a future batch?
