GF Beer #2 update
Waited longer to try GF Beer #2. The aroma seemed to tone back as it aged. I don't know if the aroma of the beer is bad, so much as my beer selection has been limited for so long, I think I have forgotten what a lot of real beers taste like.
I think the next time I brew this, I am going to try a hefeweizen yeast/hops, I think it would benefit from a citrus flavor and be a good summer beer. The sorghum adds some bitterness to the finish of this beer. Not sure how to combat that.
Good ammount of carbonation, though some bottles really seemed to have a lot of head, and others not so much. I think I am going to come up with a more standard method for cleaning bottles. Noticed in some of the cider bottles (mostly 22ozs) that the yeast didn't completely settle in some of the bottles, which makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the bottle.
