Summary:<\/p>\n

This recipe from Heart’s is a good one, and should fit perfectly with the weather around Labor Day.<\/p>\n

Thu 7\/19 @ 11:45PM — The brewing session went very well. \u00a0No boil-overs, etc. \u00a0One difference in this batch is that I decided to use bottled water for the wort, for a 18.6L carboy from Plano. \u00a0I want to see if that has any impact on the taste compared to previous batches. \u00a0I also used a Cooper’s dry yeast packet for the yeast, instead of White Labs or another wet yeast.<\/p>\n

Sat 7\/21 @ 11:00AM — Carbonation is very active, with solid bubble bursts at about 1 second intervals.<\/p>\n

Tue 7\/24 @ 11:30PM — The FG was quite a bit higher than I expected. \u00a0Nonethelese, the wort looks good and has a smooth taste. \u00a0If I had to do this batch again in the future, I would add a bit of Irish Moss to the wort during the boil. \u00a0It is a bit too cloudy: hopefully that will settle in the bottles as they condition. \u00a0Yield was 1x 34oz, 1x 1L, and 52x 12oz bottles.<\/p>\n

Mon 8\/27 @ 10:00PM — The conditioned beer is very smooth, and a bit on the sweet side (I expect this for something corn based). \u00a0The beer is very clear, and produces about 1\/4″ of airy head when poured. \u00a0I can tell that the alcohol content is on the low side as I drink it. \u00a0This is a good hot weather beer.<\/p>\n
