Split Batch Air Lock Results

So the results of the split batch were definitive. The batch with the silicon air lock created a much more estery beer. It tasted like a fruit bomb. To me it tasted like an apple cider mixed with beer. Some of the girls really liked it. The batch with the traditional bubble air lock came out way less estery. Ellie found that she liked the two to be mixed so I pour her half of one and half of another when she was up to drinking some.

I like clean beer so I think I will switch to a low or zero pressure head space method during fermentation in the future. Maybe it's time to try brewing in a open container????
