Second Batch Testing

I decided to use a secondary fermentation on this batch and I think it was a great idea. My SG was 1.013 when I racked it over a week ago. Today it was at 1.012. This means that the blonde is at 6.5 to 6.8% ABV. The more important thing is the taste!

It is smooth with a dry finish. Not a big hop taste or bitterness to it, but a nice hop aroma though. This one is not going to need much conditioning at all I think. Carb it up and it will be ready to go. I am going to do a chili pepper experiment with like a 12 pack I think and see how that turns out.

Off to find a SG scale by temp formula to tie up what my exact OG was.
