Hmmm definitely did not finish out properly. Coopers yeast let me down on this occasion. Some acetaldeyde definitely lurking there. |

Tapped the first keg today, unfortunately tasting after brushing teeth does not work too well. Hard to tell if flavour is ok. Still needs a couple of days for the carbination to settle down. One thing noticed was that the alcohol seemed very prominent, which is unexpected given it was brewed at 18C |
