2010-01-02: Ferment slows to a crawl

2010-01-04: Rack to Secondary. Specific Gravity: 1.010

2010-01-12: FG 1.010. Prime with 5 oz corn sugar, bottle (yield ~46 12 oz. bottles). Smells a little like plastic.

2010-01-14: Still flat. Still a bit plasticy (phenolic?)

2010-01-21: Its beer! The head fades kinda quickly, but the carbonation level seems OK. This brew is a bit light on both the alcohol and body. The plastic aroma has mellowed way out, and is barely noticeable.

2010-01-27: Better head retention after a while longer in the bottles. All in all a nice brew, it went over well at a roll-your-own sushi GTG this weekend. “This is pretty good, the last homebrew i had tasted a bit like skunk or something,” says one. I might make this or something similar again, definitely a nice quaffable summery brew.
