One problem occurred with this when the mini mash temp soared to 170 for 10 minutes. Not sure what the effects will be!
NOTE - thermometer seemed to have a glitch and was reading 6-8 degrees too high. This along with the thermal pockets created temperature's that seemed high but in reality all went well with OG and FG right on.
Bottling tasting - tested a little weak in flavor - HOWEVER - I could not stop drinking the 1/2 bottle left over.
10/20/08 - tastes great and I'm very happy. Only 21 days in the bottle and it needs more aging but I'm very very happy with this one. A keeper.
The mini mash problem has made it a little sweeter as more unfermentable dextrose was converted with the higher. Notice 1.014 FG was suppose to be 1.012.
