Notes:

It's good for my taste. upped the CO2 to 20 lbs. for 2 days. Made a nice difference. clearer, carbonated and a nice head.

Tasted on 2/13/2023 by BackAlleyBrewing

Notes:

Pulled some yeast off the bottom. Smells great!! Tastes pretty good. almost has a little carbonation to it. cannot smell any dactyl but not the sharpest aroma detector,

Notes:

Sweet with a little hop after taste. Drained out 1.5 qts. of trub. Put yeast in fermenter at 3pm.
