EKA w/ Acid Corrections Update 1
I've got really high hopes that this pH correction stuff will end my apple ester woes. After a week, I've pulled the fermenter from the chamber and moved it to the bathroom to finish up (I needed the chamber for another beer). I added a silicon cap and while I was doing that I got a sample. The gravity is now 1.008. It tastes yeasty. Lots of diacetyl in there but it's still young. I expect it to clean up. So far no apple ester but I never taste it until the yeast clears up. So we will see. It doesn't taste amazing and that makes me sad. But it's too early to give up on it. Should have done side by side split batch, one with acid correction and one without.
