Update on Beers

I realize it's been awhile since I've posted, so I thought I'd give you an update on the last few beers. The Hefewiezen turned out not too bad. My experiement with the Schlafly Hefe yeast was a good one, as there was a very notable difference with the taste. The Schlafly Hefe yeast had a much smoother finish and mouthfeel than the other. The dry yeast was a little sharp. The Raspberry was OK... it was my first experiment at putting raspberry in the secondary and I don't think I'll do it again. It added a bit of tart to the taste. Whenever I've added raspberry at the end of the boil, it's turned out much better, both in terms of taste and aroma.

I also brewed the GAC IPA and the Initiation Day IPA. Both IPAs were pretty good. For the amount of alcohol, they are pretty smooth. Both had a bit of a hoppy taste, but it wasn't as pronounced as most IPAs I've had before. Perhaps next time I brew these I'll try a bit more hops, especially in the secondary.
