Notes: Brewed 12/05/2015.
Intended to bottle on 1/16/2016. The beer finished just above 1.020, but tastes very sweet. It's undrinkable like this; I can choke one down if I mix with something else. I racked it to a smaller carboy and added some amylase enzyme because I've been told that can restart a stuck fermentation, but I'm doubtful.
It did start fermenting again after adding the amylase. BTW, I think my LHBS ordered coffee malt for me instead of brown malt. That would explain why this beer is inky black.
1/20/2017: I just drank the last bottle of this. After aging for about a year it was really good, just served it a little colder than normal for this style to mask the sweetness (which has subsided.) I'm sad it's gone, and I will brew it again soon (using real brown malt next time, and fermenting a little warmer which T-58 likes so it attenuates better |
