Snail Brew#2-3

[snail59]

Not sure what to make of this??. Just syphoned off a sample to test the gravity and it smells a little sour ??. Dont taste too bad got a little ginger tingle but no real ginger taste. Its down to 1.002 and would be drinkable without sweetner at this stage. Just hope the sour smell goes away.

This has worked out realy well, It had its first tasteing last night. All who tried it like it very much and im well pleased with it, so much so I will be doing a big batch in the near future. Final ABV is 5.7% and only need 1/2 a tea spoon of splender per bottle to sweetern.

The full run down is
OG 1.045 FG 1.002 5.7%ABV
8 days in the FV then bottled in 500ml bottles with a carbination tablet 1/2 a Tspoon of brown sugar + 1/2 Tspoon splender.
4 days in the kitchen over the boiler to carbinate
2 days in an un heated conservatory
10 mins in the glass
