Since agave nectar only is about 70% fermentable there will be an aftertaste that &#8220;some&#8221; have described as medicinal, others as aloe flavored and still others listed as viscous and spiced.<\/p>\n<p>The yeast, to be honest, was not my first pick, but I had it laying around. Historically speaking it just will take 6 months to even out to a smooth flavor, the initial batch is VERY sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:2080\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-75-577x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-872\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:2080\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-77-577x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-874\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:2080\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image-78-577x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-875\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Created a test batch of what could be either really tasty or really medicinally vile.
