Notes
I actually used 'Superior' Lager Yeast for its banana ester quality. for those who like butter rum, this brews for you. Primary ferm is VERY furious. a blow off is recommended. i racked to 2ndary after ferm ceased(6 days or so, after foam avalanche!) and bottled at 1.019 to clear. at this time it has a crisp, almost too crisp, butter rum flavor but with proper aging and clearing it will be a light bodied high alcohol mead. just bottled today will update in a month or so.
