beer notes
Batch two was ready for conditioning last week, so we broke into it this weekend - it's good, but not as good as the first batch. Different mix, though - this was an American style lager, so not really to our taste. Lora says it's a lager on top and a hefeweizen on the bottom - it's got yeasties, which is ok. One of the bottles was a little sweet - P was helping bottle, and he lost track of how much sugar he had added. Ooops. Otherwise, it's fizzzy, it's beer-like, it tastes ok, even if it lacks body. The only problem is - we started with 8 liters on Saturday, and between Lora, me, and D, we've consumed 4 or 4.5 liters. The stuff doesn't last! Good thing I've got batch 3 going, but I don't think it's going to be ready to bottle before we finish batch 2. I can see that this is going to be a problem going forward.
