Comments

Tastes like peanuts. After 4 weeks fermenting I finally threw this batch out due to the strong off flavours.

Most likely the hops from my back yard contaminated this batch of beer. I thought about cold distilling this beer and also dry hopping of adding adjuncts to embrace the funk. There was no saving this beer.
