Notes: made 2L starter at 1.020 for both yeasts, left overnight.
DME added in last 10 minutes, likely higher IBUs than the calculator thinks.
Belgian Saison got the overnight mash.
3724 starter smelled beery.
568 started smelled super fruity and delicious.
sampled 3724 after 2.5 days, SG at 1.022, beer tastes good, creamy, sweet, estery, maybe bubble gum or cotton candy? after 9 days, SG at 1.015, not nearly as bubble gummy as it was, TBH, it's a bit worse. after 3 weeks, gravity at 1.007, tastes good, reminds me of hennepin, smell has a bit of not entirely pleasing fermentation character.
sampled 568 after 5 days, refractometer says 6.2 brix, smells a little sulfury, not very good tasting. after 13 days, refractomter says 6.5. smell still maybe sulfury, tastes very good though, very rich in soft, fruity esters. finished at 1.008, some of the fruitiness is gone (should have served it asap?). |
