Black & Tan

Back to the BREWS
Brew Date: 03/14/2000
Batch Number: 8
Type: Black & Tan (half lager / half stout)
Alc Percent: 6.90%

Notes & Comments:
Oops! forgot to add the sugar to the brew. Added it after the fact, hope it doesn't make a difference. (This is when I still used to brew with white sugar as an ingredient as per poor brewing instructions. It would raise the alcohol percent and lower the body at the same time. Basically seemed to "water down" the beer.)

EXPLOSIVE!! VERY EXPLOSIVE!

At least six exploded - glass shattering beer everywhere explosions. What's the deal? Too much pressure, not enoughhead space, too drastic a temperature change, infection?? Maybe adding an ingredient after the fact . . .

"Smelt like Yuengling's Black & Tan. Tasted slightly like it too."
