I liked the Fulleresque so much, I wanted more, ASAP. Luckily, I had left overs of most of the ingredients. I was completely out of flaked maize, so that will be a major difference. Also Fullerish is going to be a bigger brew what with 12lbs. of base grain rather than 9.
***Update***
At first this tasted too sweet. Not as good as Fulleresque. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now it's pretty darn good -- only a slight hint of that original sweetness. I have saved a couple of bottles of Fulleresque, and a growler of Fullerish in the fridge for a head-to-head taste test this weekend. (Feb 25, 2012)
And the winner is . . .
Well...what was the winner?
ReplyDeleteHonestly I don't remember if I even did the test. My next ESB brew day will be a combo. I'll do the Fullerish recipe with 8 oz. of flaked maize in the mash. I mainly remember thinking this brew was extra delicious. I'm kicking myself for not recording my mash temps.
