well, i'm leaving it for now just so that i can top crop, I don't have any more of the yeast so need to harvest some.
Its a Hefe, so perhaps the clove and banana will help mask it, or i thought of pushing up the temp so that it becomes a toasted banana bomb.
Still don't think its going to come out palatable though I'll let it do its thing.
Don't dump it. Distill it. I know, I know, it's all about distillation with me these days, but I don't care. I think the flavours could come out interesting.
Was thinking about offering it to someone that has if i end up deciding its not worth it. Krausen is slowly starting to form so thankfully i can get some yeast back and make a call on it in a few days.
Ill let is ferment out at least to taste it.
Tbf, melano is known as super munich and if you used munich and not the light version, you'll have a pronounced different taste to what you're used to. Im sure your beer will be fine
Then give it to someone who has. Golden rule - never throw away alcohol! Hell I'll arrange a cube to your place to take the beer if it's shit. Doubt it will be, but anyway.
Did a Maris Otter/Cascade ale, wanted something malty and I haven’t use maris before, looking forward to the outcome. I had a malty pale during the week from a local burger place, made me want to give it a try.
Wit I brewed, turned out great, definately one of the top five I have brewed.
Have had a few Wits on my travels and this one is even better.
I got the right balance of spice, orange peel, coriander (used Lallemand Wit yeast).
35% Flaked wheat, 7% Flaked oats, 24% Wheat, 34% Pilsner.
Southern Aroma for hops
Tried something different, maybe foolish. Did an Ale with 50/50 Vienna and Munich. Summit for bittering and lots of Mosaic in the whirlpool at 90C
Pitched US-05 yesterday and within 3 hours it was bubbling up a storm.

that sounds like something i'd do, summit works well in american styles and you can barely go wrong with mosaic. us-05 is an american workhorse to boot ! sounds good man

Thanks! Wednesday I dry hop the brew I did last weekend. Looking forward to both of these to be honest.

So I just went to harvest some yeast... I'm open fermenting it and it smells fantastic(lovely banana aroma)... took a sample of the "beer" to taste and immediately spat it out as i did.
To say that it tastes like what I imagine licking an ashtray in a public smoking area would be is an understatement. Holy crap its awful. No way am i letting it ferment out.
It's not throwing away alcohol if its not alcohol yet. no way in hell could I give this stuff to anyone
What blows my mind is by how much the sugars in the OG sample masked this. The OG sample tasted only slightly "roasted/toasty".
