Okay update on my Blond that I served at my buddies wedding on Labor day.
Out of 4 total kegs (3 local commercial ones and mine), my blond was the only one that kicked that night.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy it.
As far as any negative effects from the whacked out pH readings all through the mash (see earlier post), the average taster did not detect anything off.
After enjoying about 10 glasses of them in a row, I was starting to pick up an ever so slight acidity to the beer that is normally not there in my normal pH batches. Not sure if it was just in my head or the sheer fact that I was getting schwilled. But I did percieve a very minute tang on the very end of the finish after drinking it.
That said, it still came out great and I went home empty.
