I followed the instructions and from my notes didn't have anything go wrong. I had to toss a previous batch of this b/c my spigot cracked and left me with about a gallon left (the rest on the floor). But the color of what I tossed smelt and looked great.
I added the alcohol boost packet to it and used the Wyeast recommented vial. It bubbled alongside a Blonde I did that day and I just kegged, carbed and drank that one. I then kegged this Weiss.
It did sit in the primary for about six weeks, which I thought shouldn't be a problem. When I cracked the bucket lid to begin the siphon process in to the keg I stuck my big fat head in there it almost burned my eyes and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming....like a tart vodka smell.
I have put it in the keg to carb but it has this overwhelming alcohol / yeast taste and smell.
The color, cloudiness and everything looks great, but something may have gone wrong.
Any thoughts?
