Christmas Ale Experiment Update

I just pulled the first gravity sample on the hefe-xmas experiment. I am happy to report the beer is coming along nicely.  We are a few points away from FG but I expect it will be ready in another day or two. I've brought the fermenter in to raise the temperature fir the last few days.  I am hoping this will increase the ester profile, after all, Hefe-wiezen should remind you of banana.

Color looks good already, hopefully it will clear a little more even though it’s a hefe. Spice notes come through in the sample and a little bit in the aroma. I suspect after the beer bottle conditions the aroma will be more pronounced.  I will let everyone know how it looks when it is bottled.
