Well, the Red is currently cooling on the counter, waiting for the addition of the yeast which will make it (eventaully) into a delicious ale that I will drink on, and after, St. Patrick’s day.
The Stout is still very delicious and I am looking forward to not only making an Imperial version of it, but also brewing a peppercorn stout (or porter) later on. This will be different from my pepper-infused red that I will also be making, but I expect both to be popular in their own circles.
No gravity readings yet, the sample is still cooling down, but I will give it once I have it.
Don’t worry, have a home brew!
We have the first batch of beer already bottled and it’s conditioning now. Racking and bottling went well, though inexperience did cause the loss of about 3 bottles of delicious, delicious beer. The taste is bold and hoppy, very good even before conditioned and properly chilled. I (and others promised tastes) eagerly await this weekend, which should be the culmination of the conditioning.
