Over the last year I have been tweaking this recipe. It is very close to being perfect, the only problem I am running into is the creation of some DMS once this is bottled. I really can not put my finger on when this is happening because I do not get this taste on draft. At about a month of cold storage I start getting a little bit of buttery smoothness. To combat this I am taking the boil to 90 minutes and changing my whirlpooling time vs temp drop.
This beer (3rd batch version) was also sent to Sam Adams Longshot comp. But with the creation of some DMS that I tasted on Weds I don't have much hope for the beer advancing.

Starting at 62 degrees which should let the beer ferment at about 65/66 for a week. I will then let it free rise to 65 which should be about 68 internally. |
