First batch, seeking tips, fairly yeasty smell/taste
Started off with my first 1 gal batch with 2lbs of the honey and using the craft-a-brew instructions and yeast/nutrients. I racked to secondary after ~5 weeks, then bottled and back sweetened after stabilizing after another week or so in the secondary.
The batch isn't a bad first attempt but is a bit more yeasty than I was hoping. A few things I plan to utilize next time include bentonite clay during fermentation and letting it stay in primary and secondary for longer. Furthermore, I wasn't too proactive in degassing while it is in primary, perhaps that would have helped? What other suggestions would you all make?
Appreciate the any insights!
