Hellsmoke Fermenting

Saturday, February 28, 2009 (8:21 PM)

Brewed more Hellsmoke Porter today, after transferring the February 16th batch from the fermenter to corny kegs for conditioning. As with the February 15th batch, I upped the smoke a notch from what was released in December. A number of folks on Ratebeer seemed to be wanting more smoke, and as my homebrew version was smokier, I'm more than happy to oblige.

The majority of my friends who had the old homebrew version thought it too smokey (I liked it) so the so the next to be released will be somewhere between that old homebrew super-smokey and the December-release level of smoke.
