Black is Beautiful pt5

So I got curious about the flavor of the #sake after the surprising smell and did a little taste test with the crew. 2-1 in favor of the current flavor. The two picked up some strawberry and “summer” wine flavors. The one thought it was on the sour side, like the wine had started to vinegar. A mixed bag, but interesting. So I pulled the red rice yeast, gin barrel chips, and ginger out as a precaution. No need to push those flavors to an undesirable place. I also started testing the #squidink as a backup to see what this particular ink tastes like. A little certainly goes a long way 🦑 #homebrew
