Mmmm....beer at 6:30 in the morning. Hey, I was just testing it, dammit! ;)
Current Specific Gravity is about 1.021, which implies quite a bit of fermentation going on. Fermenter is still in the 18* range, but I keep checking it late and night or first thing in the morning, so it's possible that its getting a little extra heat during the day.
My first taste-test of the beer, two nights ago, revealed this lovely malty, yeasty combination that I would have loved to save as was. Today, both of those flavors are far more subdued, owing primarily (I assume) to most of those sweet, malty flavors being turned into less appetizing pure alcohol, and that alcohol taste coving up the yeasty bit. Just my guess, but I'm sure it will continue to get better, otherwise the instructions would have me prepping for bottle conditioning now, rather than in 2-3 days...depending on fermentation. I think I got off to a slow start, so it might take even longer for the initial fermentation to peter out. We'll see!
