Today marked 2 weeks since bottling my nut brown. I cracked one open and was very pleased. I think I'm going to tone down the hops a bit on the next batch, as this was supposed to be a sweeter beer. This batch actually has a little bite at the end of it. Can anyone recommend a nice finishing hop for a darker/sweeter beer? I used willimette and I don't think that was a good match.
I bottled my Strawberry Wheat today also. I was surprised to see the FG of 1.010 after all the stuff I put in it. It wasn't even the slightest bit pink though. Just a nice amber hue similar to the last batch of wheat beer I made. Surprisingly clear and it definately smells of strawberries. This is going to be a TOUGH batch to let sit and age. I only got 32 bottles (due to my explosive blowoff during primary fermentation) out of it, so these will be more scarce than a standard batch.
