Update on my licorice brew....
Its smelling fucking awesome, and is bubbling away very nicely at a healthy 18-19°. I've been taking daily gravity readings and its dropping by an average of about .004 each day, which is fairly rapid. It started at a nice 1.040, so it shouldnt be far from bottling. Its a bit chunky though...the licorice seems to have made some funky bronw sediment. Im wondering if I should leave it, or somehow try and filter it out, maybe putting a stocking between the tap and the "little bottler" or something to that effect? Any suggestions?
