Dear friends,
Today is a dark day in my life. I extracted beer from two of my primaries. They are my first ever two batches. First one was a Belgian Strong ale (wyeast #1388) and second was dubbel dachs orange blossom honey hefe-weizen.
I am sitting here drinking it, and both of them taste.... similar!! They have a slight unusual sweet taste that i cannot identify what is.
They also taste very alcoholic, but i assume that is because they are still young.
Please friend, shed some constuctive thoughts so that some good can come out of this darkness
Hefeweizen:
7 lbs. German 2-row Pils
6 lbs. German Wheat Malt Light
0.5 oz. Hallertau (Pellets, 5.00 %AA) boiled 60 min. 3.06 SRM
1 lbs. Orange Blossom Honey (at flameout) 11.7 IBU
2 oz. Orange Marmalade (at 15 mins) 4.9% ABV
1 vial. Wyeast 3068
Brewed two weeks ago.
OG: 75

Primary temp: 74*F
