Hey everyone,
I tried my first batch with lunar crush.
Recipe for 12 gallon batch.
20lbs 2 row
.5 acid malt
90min at 149F
4oz Saaz mash hop
60 min boil
20 min 175F whirlpool
8oz Wakatu
8oz tahoma
4oz phantasm
chilled to 65f and pitched 4L lunar crush starter, after about 16 hours gravity started to change on my rapt pill so I chilled to 55F and held until 70% attenuation, brought up to 65 for D rest until fermentation was complete.
OG 1.050, FG 1.010. 5.3ABV
Chilled to 34F been lagering for one week and just tried a sample.
Aroma:
I have no idea how to describe it, it is terrible. Once the head dissipated the aroma was much less offensive I am hoping it goes away.
Taste:
Very pine needles on the front, tangerine and citrus peel on the finish. It is very interesting.
What is other peoples experience?
