hope everyone had an enjoyable national hombrew day...i know i lost my mind somewhere between eleven and midnight.
to celebrate i brewed up a hoppy american red ale. i don't know if the red color will come through, but the hops will without a doubt. the only problem i ran into last night was forgetting to take a specific gravity reading, which only means i won't know the alcohol content. wouldn't bother me normally, but this was third time in a row i've made this mistake. whatever. friday night i bottled up my summer wheat ale, and even without carbonation it is a tasty batch. so currently i have a coffee stout, a juniper pale ale, and the summer wheat, all bottled up, though the latter two need more time to condition. finally establishing the pipeline. don't know what's next....i'll probably just start formulating recipes for fall and winter.
