O.K.... Here's the story,
I brewed my first batch on 2/14.... below is my receipe.
"Angry Bee's Bitchin Honey Brew"
5 gallon batch:
1 lbs of Breiss Amber Dry Malt Grains
1/2 lbs. Breiss Crystal Grains
1 lbs. Breiss Dry Malt Extract
4 lbs. Muntons Nut Brown Ale Extract
2 lbs. Corn Sugar
2 lbs. Pure Honey
I didn't do all the correct readings to get the true alcohol %, but I would assume it's at about 8%. It has a strong, but good alcohol flovor.
I bottled on 3/01, let it condition for 4 weeks (3/29)before I cracked the first one. I let the SWMBO have a taste and she say's it has a bit of a "Champagne" taste, so I figured it needed to condition for a bit longer. At a bout 6 weeks I start drinking it regularly, I like the taste and got cooter brown on a 6 of it one friday night with guys.
So my brother-in-law comes home on leave from Iraq, I give him a taste of my brew on 4/12 and I'll be damned if he didn't say the same thing that SWMBO said... It has a "Champagne" taste.
I don't taste it, but from the recipe, what would give it this flavor? And will it go away? I have about 24 bottles left.
