so, i just taped my last "brown ale"....although it doesn't taste "bad"....it strangley tastes more like a strawberry cider...lol
don't worry i know i did everything wrong, i pitch the same yeast i've been using for over a year, it started out as nottingham...i pitched at 85f....fermented at about the same...
what i threw together was 20lb's pale malt, 1 lb crystal 40L, and 8oz's chocolate malt.....got an OG of 1.073 for a 10 gallon batch....(i was impressed with that!) FG was 1.000
and no i'm not just joking around, i'm curious why sometimes i get fruity beers? i do everything the same batch to batch, but sometimes i get a fruit bomb...i'm thinking the yeast are past their prime and time to pitch fresh....
(yeah i know i could use the search function, but i'm making small talk)
