Hi, Ron here (Mr. Shawna) ~Review Part 1~ 02/06/2022 Anyway, this has been interesting so far, I'm kind of a 'brew water' nut and one thing that these kits have in common from nearly anywhere you get them is they never mention water chemistry composition for best results of the grain bill your using. One thing as a basic is, it's best to have your mash water come in at around a pH of about 5.2 to 5.6 to get the most out of your grain utilization (conversion to fermentable sugars). I came in a little more acidic (pH lower than 5.2) than I hoped, and feared it may have an effect on my fermentation. I always use a glass 6 gal. carboy for 5 gallon batches w/a bung and a overflow tube into distilled water (plastic milk jug works nicely). A regular airlock can usually work fine, but this time I'm happy I used the blow off tube method.. It took about 36 hours before the yeast kicked in but OMG.. this stuff would have blown an airlock right off the 6 gallon carboy !! I'm not sure what took place in this batch, but it's probably been 15 batches since I've had this much or any overflow.. It went completely crazy, and ran strong for the better part of 4 to five days. I did make a small mistake according to the recipe, it called out pitching the Saaz hops, Candi sugar, Coriander seed, Orange peel, and Orange marmalade in the last 5 min. of the boil, and I did it about 25 min. early (OOP's) anyway, not to worry, it's only beer RIGHT !?! Who knows.. This may all be a happy accident that adds a whole new twist on the recipe, I'll let you know. At any rate, it's been one week since creation and there will be another installment to this thread. P.S. CRUSH YOUR CORIANDER OR IT WON'T EFFECT THE BATCH !!! -R ~Review Part 2~ 03/05/2022 Last night we cracked open this beer, if you read my long winded Part 1 Post, you would know that I messed up the recipe and put in certain ingredients prior to the time they were supposed to be dropped into the boil. Well then ! Not to worry, this brew compared to the real moon is slightly different, the front end fruitiness in the flavor is more noticeable in the real thing than in my brew obviously because I boiled it out, but none the less this is a very tasty recipe ! All I had to do to bring it all together in a glass was to drop a slice of orange in there and 'Wallah' !! I highly recommend this version of Blue Moon, as a matter of fact I'm buying two more kits today ! With all the Geo-political nonsense going on in the world as of late, best stock up, stay home and brew beer !!
