Attenuation(points) vs Time(days)
| Sat May 14, 2011 01:07 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.010, Atten: 71.43%, ABV: 3.35% | |
| Sun January 23, 2011 10:22 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.010, Temp[C (F)]: 22.00 (71.60), Atten: 71.43%, ABV: 3.35% | Tasted the wort and it has a slightly sour or sulphorous taste and aroma. Hoping it is just the yeast strain that I've used. Colour was good I think in terms of style. Certainly does not taste like a big hunk of banana cake that I was hoping for :-( |
| Tue January 18, 2011 21:25 | Gravity reading[SG]: 1.035, Temp[C (F)]: 30.00 (86.00), Atten: 0.00%, ABV: 0.00% | Added cube of wort to fermenter and pitched 1 smack pack of Wyeast 3068 that had been activated last night. Package had swollen to the max and had a good aroma on being opened. Wort flavour was good with a slight roastiness coming through from the dark wheat I guess. Colour was also good so should come out similar to a brown ale. |

Tried a bottle of Dunkel. Weird.. tastes more like a porter than a dunkel. Not a good brew and one I may not make again unless I can get better temp control etc. |
