It's official, Manbearpig has been bottled. FG was measured lower than expected, at 1.012. Using QBrew's estimaged OG, ABV is somewhere around 7.5-8.0%. Not bad. The beer is a light brown in the glass, already with a thick, wispy head (despite no carbonation). The malt profile, as expected, is puzzling. With 11 different grains, we figured this would happen. We'll see after conditioning how this develops. The hops are quite strong, very bitter but very pleasant on the nose. All in all, good stuff.
For our priming sugar, we added a bit of brown sugar on account of running out of corn sugar. It's very likely too little have any effect on the final product, but still worth noting.
Yield was higher than normal, at 30 bottles. This was likely because we didn't care about sediment this time around. Being too cautious quite possibly caused TnT to be on the flat side.
Tastings begin in 2 weeks.
