well i stole a thief tonight to taste and get a reading, color is outstanding a light golden yellow, taste is very dry, dryer then i thought it would go and the hydro reading tells the story of .992 . if my math is right thats 13%abv.
still got a bit of hot on the back end but i am sure it will mellow with time as it is only a month old.
I plan to break the batch into 5 one gallon batches to flavor, ill let it sit another 2 weeks in the secondary as i am moving next week and dont have much time to work on it. but i am planning a few interesting flavors with a few basic ones as well. thinking of a vanilla (got some nice beans this week from trader joes), a blueberry, was considering a mango, an ancho chile, red rasberry, and a mixed berry.
just wanted to say thanks for all the help it was greatly appreciated and needed at times, hoping in a few months to have a few nice bottles to enjoy with friends and family...
thanks again
anthony
