Green Apple Lambic - 5

I think my suspicions were correct about the green apple lambic.

This past Friday was a brew day. Before moving on to the other tasks at hand (moving a Czech Pilsner to secondary - more on that later - and brewing a spiced winter ale) I sampled the lambic one last time.

It still had the scotch-like off flavor that was present about a month ago when moving it to secondary. (Boo.) Not to mention the fact that it looked like something was growing near the surface of the secondary after a week or so. I intended to take some pictures of it, but every time I moved the fermentor to get better light, it'd shake the crap off of the surface again...

So, ultimately I'm still a bit unsure that the batch was totally spoiled, but I guess it's better to be safe with this stuff.

Tack one up to catastrophic failure. I think that makes it Jordan 11 (or so) - beer 2.

Cider Experiment - 2

Sooo..... I dumped the cider a few weeks back.

This was a couple of weeks prior to converting the kegerator over to run two kegs at the same time. I just got tired of having to switch the disconnects over and run beer through the lines to get clean flavors. So that was the end of that batch. Oh well. Failure #1.
