This beer ended up at about 5.6% ABV. I think this was due to the honey being far more fermentable than Beersmith had extimated.
ReplyDeleteConsequently, the beer tasted a bit "strong". Nice flavour and colour, and excellent head, but I think it would benefit from less honey next time.
Note: Don't expect a sweet honey taste. By the time the yeast is finished, any trace of honey flavour or aroma is well and truly gone.
