Moving the Honey Nut Brown
While managing an inquisitive dog, I moved the honey nut brown ale into the secondary vessel today. A very solid primary fermentation cycle led to a finishing gravity of 1.010 (or just under 6% ABV - last time it was around 5.6%). I had to bring the primary fermenter upstairs because the basement was a little too cold for ale brewing at this time of the year. But it should be perfect for cool aging over the next month. During the transfer I noticed the pleasant aroma of a sweet scotch whiskey. I have to say I am even more excited about this beer now that I have smelled it since I don't remember that aroma last time. Cross your fingers!
