I made a batch a couple of months ago.
After about a month in primary/secondary. It was bottled. A week later, I tried a bottle. Not very good. I've been grabbing about one a month to see what they are turning into, and they've been pretty poor...very "alchoholy".
And then I opened one last night. And everything was gone. Nice and carbonated, slighty beery and slighty apple taste, wonderful. I had two, and was pretty wasted. I'm amazed how quickly it went from pretty much undrinkable for months to very good so quickly.
Recipe was:
5g Apple Juice from Jewel/Osco
2.5-3lbs dark brown sugar.
some cinnamon
poured on the cake from a Nut Brown Ale kit from Midwest, who had no idea what the yeast was, but guessed it was Munton's Ale yeast. I didn't keep my notes, so I have no idea what the OG/FG are, but theres a ton of alcohol in this thing. Tasty
