everything the same as batch 015, except we used a slightly higher
fermentation temperature. |

This
represents us returning to our classic production of Damnation. We went back
to our all time favorite batch of Damnation, batch 005, and did everything
exactly the same, particularly in the fermentation temperature cycle. |

The
experiment continues using Abbey Ale Yeast in both the primary and bottle
conditioning. In the end it didn't work as well as we had thought it might.
The beer is very nice, but, just not what we are looking for. If you don't
experiment, you'll never know. |

We
continued our experiment using the Abbey Ale Yeast as a bottle conditioning
yeast. We feel the beer does not have the classic fruit character that
Damnation normally has. |

When we tasted this beer young,
it showed more green apple than we have ever seen. It is starting to drop
out, but this batch will need a little more aging than the rest. Overall
though, we still prefer Damnation in the bottle when compared to the draft version. |

R.R. Belgian Yeast 1 |
White Labs Wine Yeast |
We were unable to use our
"house" wine yeast for bottle conditioning, so we had to use a
different strain, as result it is little thin in body. |

Switched the base malt to an
American grown Pilsner malt, probably the best bottling yet. Vinnie's
favorite bottled batch of Damnation!

Lowered the fermentation
temperature thus lowering the fruitness if consumed at a young age. |

Switched back to our original
Belgian Yeast, fermented this batch a little warm so there will be a lot of
fruit if consumed at a young age. |

We
got the sugar addition right this time, carbonation is perfect. Additionally,
we changed the bottle condition yeast to a wine yeast. |

California Ale Yeast |
Because
this was our first bottling, we weren't sure of the exact sugar addition at
bottling so the carbonation is a little low. |
