I sort of winced when this thread bubbled back up, because I was afraid someone would ask this very reasonable question. The truth is, I couldn't tell much difference. It is a little hard to say, I must admit, because I never opened 2 or 3 of these bottles back to back. Another confounding factor is that I am not very impressed by ANY of this batch. They were kind of "meh." If I recall correctly, this was one of two batches I did before realizing my carboys were much larger than 23L, so I wound up diluting it with water by ~6%, to boot.

Soooo, a big, fat inconclusive. Sorry!

Finding no difference is a conclusion. The conclusion being that the additives did not help. And that is indeed useful information.

Of course, any experiment needs to be repeated somewhere else to see if the results are universal. Any takers?

I would say that's kinda true, but the dilution would have played a big factor in that. Fine tuning with additives are all down the drain if the end product is diluted, so it's hard to say that the additives didn't actually do anything. Depending on how much of each was added, their chemical makeups were undoubtedly different.

Now we have to live the rest of our lives not knowing what they truly could have been. Thanks sour grapes!!! LOL
