Super active
for 6-24 hours then slowed down rapidly to an almost standstill
Foamed up
considerably, throwing fruit out of airlock and blocking vent
frequently. Airlock
removed several times to unblock. At completion
of fermenting a considerable amount of fruit solids remained
floating and at bottom
of fermenter risking blocking of filler and/or going into bottles.
To avoid this
wort was decanted through a strainer into a second fermenter just
prior to bottling. Next time
will try pureeing the fruit first or else just strain the liquor
into the fermenter at the beginning.
Very golden
peachy colour with strong peach taste laced with wheat at
bottling. Very slight
bitter peach tang - perfect for beer.
Mature taste
- slight bitter peach tang early on but meellowed after a couple
of months.
Has a strong
fruity background taste and is ideal for drinking with light meat
such as chicken etc (sound like a
wine write up doesn't it).
Even my
brother (a confirmed Carlton Cold fan) took a liking to it !
