OK I know where I screwed up during the brewing process, so I am not surprised that after 1 week in the keg (Keg conditioning not force carbing) that my Blue Moon Clone (All Grain Recipe) is watered down in taste. I actually really like the taste, but you get a 1 second hint of it, then the rest is a mouthful of water.
I am less interested in reverse critiquing the the brew process, and more interested in hearing what I can do / if it is possible to salvage the beer? I have read a couple of idea so here is what I am contemplating:
FIRST: I will let it sit in the keg at room temp for another month before I do anything. Maybe it will improve in feel over time? If it still is watered down here are some thing I am considering:
- Mixing it with a stronger store bought beer / barleywine?
- Switching gears and making it a Lime-a-rita?
- Add a strong fruit extract like blueberry?
- Adding a different strong extract? ( I would be looking for suggestions of what would be a good extract to add to a watered down heffe)
All ideas appreciated!
