This past week we cracked open batch #6--an American Pale Ale that has a really smooth, slightly sweet tone to it, but with a nice bitter aftertaste. The only thing that was missing from this batch was the carbonation level. This could have been due too leaving the batch in primary or secondary too long..I don't really know. To some, the amount of carbonation might have been spot on, but we all agreed that it was a little low. We concurred that the best way to ensure that this doesn't happen again is to move to forced carbonation(another expenditure!)...
We also bottled Batch #7..our first attempt at a lager. Matthew commented that it smelled a lot like a well knnown domestic, but I guess time will tell.
Batch #8 is being brewed next weekend and I'd like to hear from anyone else in the area that is brewing as well!
