D3 SSRI
Quite a bit going on at work, and once again I find myself filled with doubt. There's always an easier route.
Brewed Eclipse II 2 weekends ago, and we just cracked one open to compare with Eclipse. Eclipse II used the exact same malted grain bill, but swapped out the 150g of chocolate malt for 300g of Caramunich III. It's nice and bready on its own, but appears less rounded compared to Eclipse - we're attributing this to the extra month of conditioning that Eclipse got. In any case though, subsequent batches of Eclipse will be brewed with Eclipse II's recipe.
Currently fermenting away too is an experimental batch of lychee hefeweizen. The base is a simple hefeweizen using 3kg pils malt and 2.5kg wheat, and I used a true Bavarian hefeweizen yeast this time (previous ones were done using Belgian/Hoegaarden yeast). It's almost at the end of primary fermentation now, so it'll be racked this weekend onto 5kg of fresh lychees for secondary fermentation. Hope this one turns out well!
