Dark Mild Mild - Best of Show New England Regional Homebrew Competition 2011

I'm still enjoying this. I might not make it again right away, but I like it.

One thing about this one: I'm getting big chunks of sediment. Normally when I have used S04, it sticks pretty tenaciously to the bottom of the bottle. On this batch, the yeast 'chunks' up and ends up in the glass if I'm not super careful. Is anyone else running into this?

I haven't had this problem. In fact, I haven't noticed any sediment worth mentioning even when I do a bottoms-up while pouring it...

I brewed this yesterday afternoon and at 8am this morning, it was very active and at 72 degrees. I put it in the the garage to come down to around 68, next to my other burping babies. Came in at 1.037 OG so we'll see how it ends up.

Looking good!

I just popped the cap on one of mine. Wow, this sure benefited from some cold conditioning. It was really good before, but now is crystal clear and mellow. I'll probably have to brew up some more.

I gave a couple of my homebrews to a coworker, and his girlfriend glommed onto the English mild. She says it tasted like coffee, and if she could she'd start every day with one....
