Log: Used the Feermentap system for the primary and secondary. This allowed me to remove sediment as it forms along with yeast. Fermentation lasted about 5 days.
Carbonation: Forced carbonated, next batch will try natural carbonation using the 1/3 cup corn sugar.
Tasting: The inital taste was a trasistion from bitter to sweet. The roasted barley stood out a little to much. Next batch the crystal malt will be lowered to about 40L, the Cara-Pils to 1 lb and 1/2lb of roasted barley.
