Sometimes learning is about taking chances. One of the beer books on my shelf is Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers by Buhner (No, I am not a hippie.) The ideas in this book range from different to crazy but it offers opportunities to try new flavors and styles that are out of the ordinary for beers. Hopefully, this will improve my beers in the future by increasing my palate of tastes to choose from when creating my own recipes. As such, Sunday I brewed two experimental beers: a spruce ale and a licorice ale.
Fermentables in experimental beers like these can vary and sometimes the yeast takes a bit longer to get going. I am sure a yeast starter would have been a good option. I will have to note that for the next experimental beer. This evening I noticed action in the airlock. Not a lot but some bubbling is better than none.
