    Re: Kit O' Beer #2 - Canadian Blonde

    the second half was no worse than the first. I enjoyed it more actually. There were some small floaties I'm taking for bits of yeast.

    In the interest of beerscience I cracked the second bottle. The black cap. This one is flat. There was none of the smell. There appears to be about the same carbonation occuring but not reflected in the taste of this beer. No sensation of carbonation in the mouth or throat. I think this will meet sink due to flatness.

    Score so far
    White caps 1
    Black caps 0

    I'm going to get a second hydrometer. and check if I need to compensate for temps when reading. Buzz feels reasonable. Maybe the OG was not spot on? Will need to test more brews.

    Beer needs more time. Possibly much more time. I would probably keg this beer and force carbonate, It is a nice taste and colour and would be agreeable to most people on a warm to hot day.

    So no criticism of the beer, just not carb'd enough.
