Fallen Friar Follow-up

Great success! I fermented this beer for 21 days and bottled when the final gravity reached 1.010. I let the beer carbonate in the bottles for 14 days before I threw a test bottle into the fridge. I condition the bottle for two more days and it was delicious! I was surprised that these bottles only needed 14 days to carbonate. This was my third brew, and it is definitely something I would purchase if it was sold in stores (unlike my first bud light imitation!). It was also promising to produce such a good beer with only using Mr. Beer
ingredients. I also added a bag of booster to this recipe. Since my estimated OG for the Witty Monk I just brewed was too high, I didn't want to use the estimated OG for the Fallen Friar from QBrew. The original Fallen Friar recipe has an ABV of 4.5%, and since booster adds 1.3% ABV, I can safely assume that this beer is a solid 5.8% ABV.
