What’s everyone brewing?
I’ve just bottled something. Went for the parameters in beersmith of a wee heavy. Came out pretty nice, pre-carbonation.

I just got done with a cyser that didn’t come out quite like I wanted. Every bottle a headache, probably bad process on my part.
What I really want to do is make a huge, black, rich big beer, something like a dark Belgian penta.
…But not until I’ve got my process perfect. In the meantime I might do something warming for the coming spring showers. Maybe a porter?
One of the biggest suspects in this cyser story is metabisulfite treatment that might have happened to apples. I do not know the exact mechanism, but lots of people complained about headache if that was used with apples (and many recipes call for its use, IMO totally unjustified) or in apple juice in factory. Same thing about grapes. Differential is quite clear.
