Brewed this back to back. Poured into the fermenters like thick black oil, yummy. I did lose about 25% from each carboy via the blow off hose. I assume I need to buy a 3 gallon carboy and use these as growlers. Finished in 2 days though. That doesn't mean a thing. I have had batches that went like crazy, finished early and had a FG of 20 or even higher.
Tasting
This beer sucked. FG was 1.020. Fucken 514 yeast just sucks. Very cloying taste. I could of added polyclar to get rid of it, but may need it for future brews. Will never brew this again.
