Taste Update

Ok so after racking the Passionfruit to a gallon jug and setting it aside in a cabinet with the grape, I took a few pipet samples of the braggot and passionfruit to taste and measure the SG.

I'm totally impressed with the flavors I can already taste in the braggot. It's very hoppy at first but settles to a nice carmel sweet and the end note is slightly bitter, like the hop flavor is trying to make its way back. The end result will probably be sweet, which would be best, I think. I decided to bulk age this ( I can spare a few jugs) because I didn't want to chance uneven aging by bottling too soon. So hopefully by the end of summer I will bottle. The passionfruit on the other hand will end up being sweet are fermentation. Both batches are slowing down so I suspect that after a couple months I should check it again.
