So its been 5 days in the PF and fermentation has slowed to 1 min intervals. I decided to try just a wee bit and my first impression was that it tasted a bit like really hoppy watery beer or just really thin beer...I could be mistaken though, I only had a tiny taste...heres was my final recipe:
extract: 6lb LME.
Steep .5lb crystal 40L and .5 lb carapils.
For 60min 1 oz perle 7.7%
For 30min 1 oz cascade 5.6%
For 15min 1 oz cascade.
aroma: .5oz cascade.
yeast: WLyeast American Ale (new)
I decided to ditch the honeymalt (as I spoke about in the "Recipes" thread). I'm going to put it 1-2weeks in secondary...will my beer thicken up? the taste would be really nice if it was thicker. oh and I boiled a 2.5 gal batch and then filled to 5gal mark with water in PF. Thanks!
