Day 33 (11-13-06) (70F)
My beer has been bottled for a little over a week.
Of course I had to test it to make sure it wasn't spoiled. You know, since it smelled strongly of apples.
Well, it tasted pretty good. It still has a faint hint of a smell of apples but the overall taste and after-taste is similar to Newcastle.
I am going to let it sit for another week in the closet to condition then move it to the fridge to cold condition.

Day 22 (11-2-06) (68F)
In the past couple days, there have been, what looks like, sediment floating to the top. Some of it is stationary an inch under the surface and a lot is floating on the surface.At first I thought it might be mold, but it is not. It looks more like flakes.
It all looks pretty white/tannish color. It is spread out all over the surface. The sides, at water level have it as well. It looks kind of like spent Krausen. From behind it looks almost slimy. But probably that because it's in a liquid.
1. This is of the stuff floating on top.

2. This one is of the gunk stuck to the sides at water level.
