I finished a Brown Ale, it was fermenting for about 5 days in primary. Secondary for about 8 days, it has been in a keg for a week now and it is still very strong on the bitters I guess. It taste like very earthy pine taste. It is getting better with time, it was not good the first day after carbonating.
Starting gravity 1.052@84F finished at 1.014@74F
8 oz. maple syrup
6 lbs. amber malt extract
1 lb. british pale malt
1/2 lb. special b malt
1 lb. medium crystal malt
1 oz. target (60 min)
1 oz. fuggles (20 min)
1 oz. fuggles (1 min)
1 pkg. bru-vigor (yeast food)
1 pkg. widsor ale yeast
mashed the grains for 1 hr in 150F filtered tap water
double sparged with 170F filtered tap water
starting with 6.3 gal to boil finished with 5 gal
I am going to bottle this stuff because it is so strong it is almost not drinkable.
Any advise?
