Hey folks, I have a quick question about a kit I used. I bought the Honey Bee Ale recipe kit from Midwest Supply, and I just rackedminto my secondary. I noticed a very floral scent coming from the beer, and I was wondering if that was normal for honey beers? Herenis the recipe:
3.3 lbs Gold Malt Extract
3 lbs Minnesota Clover Honey
8 oz Carapils
1 oz Tettenang pellet hops
1 oz Vanguard pellet hops
I added the honey 15 minutes before the end of the boil.
Reason I ask, I bought a honey wheat kit from my local supply store, and I had the same scent coming from it; however I ended up contaminating it somehow. I dont want (obviously) to contaminate this batch, and took extra precaution in my sanitizing. It's just a familiar smell, and I am praying against familiar results.
