Bottling and brewing
17/04/10 09:49
I should have posted this last weekend, but I haven’t had time.
Last weekend my co-brewer and I got 42 bottles of pale ale and 45 bottles of nut brown ale bottled. We also were able to brew a trappist ale and a pecan nut brown ale.
As of today, the pecan nut brown ale went into a secondary. It’s a little on the more cloudy side than I would have wanted and it tastes a little dry. I didn’t get a whole lot of pecan flavor, so maybe next time I’ll double the mount of pecans. The trappist ale is still in the primary and it will stay there another week. The trappist has gone through the most rigorous fermentation I have experiences. I’ve had to clean the airlock out twice because of beer coming out the top of the fermenter and at one point it was even completely clogged. But, today it’s still fermenting rigorously enough to where I feel it should sit in the primary for another week.
