just want to hear what this beer may taste like, its my first attempt at a darker style, all most porter, beer. its 6 days into fermentation and I'm starting to 2nd guess my choices of malt and the quantities.
10# 2row
1#Munich
1#pale chocolate
1# caraform
1oz cascade 60
1oz cascade 30
S.G. 1.074
us 04 yeast
mash at 153
ferment at 64
5 gal in fermenter at 162-166
I have checked the grav today and it was @ 1.022 and still falling but the smell of it seamed a little like wine, now I know its not done yet but the smell is bothering me.
when I tasted my sample it also tasted just like some one put a shot of red wine in a 16 oz glass of flat beer. is this normal for big dark beers at day 6 into fermentation?
