I have a semi-interesting post regarding a brew I came up with a while back. I modeled the batch off of a really nice beer - Tommy Knocker Maple beer ( http://tommyknocker.com/ourBeer.html#mapleNut )
I brewed this beer ... dunno, I know it has been 1.5 years because I brewed it about the time I moved into my current apartment - pretty much right when we moved in. When I was adding in the maple I accidentally added too much. The recipe called for 1 or 2 cups, I put in about double :-> Oops!
Well, when I fermented it it was nice. You could really smell the maple. When I bottled it and sampled the first one a few weeks later, it was pretty much un-drinkable. The maple was just so over-powering. It did not sour or get spoiled - it just did not taste good :-> I mentioned this to a friend of mine and his comment was rather fun! "Ah, just throw it in a case and toss it into the closet for a year. It'll mellow out.
Well, sure enough it has mellowed out nicely. Actually tastes ok ( though a tad sweet ).
Cheers! viva la laziness!
