Comments:
Will be another 2 weeks before I have time to pitch this one most probably. Other additions where 3gms CaCl and 1 gm of Citric Acid for water adjustment. Sterelised 2ltrs of the wort to use for conditioning when added to the keg after fermentation.

Still have come in the keg, and contrary to popular opinion seems to be getting better with age. Bit more banana and a bit more rounded. |

Tasting pretty good, lots of banana, bit of clove. Another couple of weeks and this should start to really hit its strides. |

Lots of banana, a little bit of clove. Seems to be getting better, very highly carbonated. |

Tried the bottled version last night. Seemed to have all the right components. Think this will benefit from a bit of aging (a month). |
