This is a little cloudy. It was the left over from the bottling bucket. I lost a LOT of volume to the yeast. 30+days in and fermentation has been done for at least 2 weeks but a lot of the yeast just kept floating on the top in balls that looked like tan cottage cheese. What did fall was very...
I bottled this today. The taste is solid. It's pretty good even prior to carbing and chilling. The honey flavor is barely noticeable though. Maybe it will pop back up in a few weeks or months.
I've got a supplication clone sitting on cherries right now. I'm going to bottle it in +\- 9 months. Is it possible to "wash" the bugs the way you would a straight yeast? I didn't think it wise to rack another beer on top of the year old cherry carcuses but really want to reuse the blend. (I...
I brewed this about 3 weeks ago. I'll be bottling and carbing to 3.5 volumes this weekend. This tasted absolutely horrible. The saaz hops are NOT tasty prior to fermentation.
I tasted this over the weekend and it had improved dramatically. I can't wait for it to carb up. I'll post pics of the...

I added the cherries about a week ago and snuck a little sample today. It is already pretty sour. Honestly I would have no problem drinking it right now...but I guess I'll sit on it another year, lol.
