Irish Stout update

After roughly 3 weeks in the carboy, I've bottled it. It came out to around 3.5-4% abv, and tastes really good. Should be even better after carbonation and chilling. I've also used some of the leftover yeast to start a sourdough starter! It smells really fruity, though that may be the jar, as it smelled like cinnamon before (despite being a pickle jar...). Can't wait to use it in bread.

The starter really took off lmao. Guess the yeast is active.

Looks nice. Looking forward to the taste test.

Before you carbonate the whole batch, separate a cup/pint glass worth, and nitrous it. Just to check the difference.
