I racked my latest brew from the primary fermenter to the secondary fermenter, yesterday. The final gravity is 1.015, giving it about 5.3% alcohol by volume. It tastes pretty gosh-darn good and I’m glad I added that little bit of acidulated malt to the recipe. I’ll let it sit for at least another week to clear out and then keg it.
Here’s the recipe:
