About 8 days ago my friend and I brewed up an experimental batch of...something...using a lager kit that came with a brew kit we bought.
In addition to the 1.5kg can of generic pale pre-hopped extract we added
500g of black treacle
500g molasses
one ginger root, grated
vanilla essence
a packet of candied citrus peel
a tin of black forest fruits
2 cinammon sticks
After a week the fruit had gone moldy so we racked to a clean fermenter.
Since then I've tasted it a couple of times and, well, its not great. I added some nutmeg and more vanilla (figured what the hell, its probably ruined anyway.)
So basically it's just over a week but it tastes pretty rank. Do you think this will improve or just ditch it?
Cheers!
