Recipe;
4.5-4.75 gallons
6# Dark DME
.5# Roasted Barley (60 mins@ 160F)
.5# Chocolate (60 mins @ 160)
.5# 60L (60 mins @ 160)
1.5oz Magnum (12AA) hops (60 mins @ 160)
Irish Ale yeast (was slow, as I left it at RT for some time not in the smack packs)
Yeast nutrient + energizer (About 2 tsp of each at OG, 2/3 OG and 1/3 OG)
Honey (dutch gold "organic" wildflower from brazil) added to a OG of >1.085
So... I took a sip after 6 days, just to see where it was headed (SG = 1.025, primary mostly finished).
WOW is it "roasted". Its like eating honey-covered roasted barley, which I hope you can imagine isn't that pleasant. There is a bit of sour, but I'm thinking that is just because of the fast ferment and young age of it (crossing fingers).
Anyone believe the ROASTED of the roasted barley will settle out? Don't get me wrong, I put the roasted barley in for a reason, but wow. not like this!
Perhaps it is just the sediment from the barley, and a number of whirflocs will be a great fix.
Thoughts?
