Hi all,
I am trying to get a little more information on this mess I got going on here.
This is my Recipe: https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/spores-among-us-bpa
Kind of weird, a Belgian Pale ale with a Maris Otter Base fermented with wlp565 Saison I
I pitched at room temp (April 6th) in an Ale Pale.
This sat in Primary for 18 days around 65° ambient.
While I was transferring to secondary it was a Hot alcohol mess. A big time, boozy, intoxicating smell. So I was thinking Fusels...yet Ive read that its not a real concern with this yeast at those temperatures.
It sat in secondary at temps a couple degrees higher for 29 days.
Now it has been in the bottle for 21 days. The initial taste is good and reminds me of tangerines somehow (maybe its just the 8 SRM) but finishes with a tip of the toungue numbing effect, and a kinda of solventy taste.
Is this what Fusel alcohols is like? It has only been 3 weeks bottle conditioning so maybe 8 weeks will see an improvement?
My first reaction to tasting this was I should have racked this onto some fruit in secondary and added some brett. Maybe that could make a tasty brew outa this...
