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. |

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. |

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