So, today we bottled our second batch of homebrew. In another 2-3 weeks we can start drinking it! Our first batch was an IPA and the latest one was a pale ale. The IPA turned out great. It’s still a little young and could use some more fermentation for the real hoppy bitterness to prevail over sweetness, but it is delicious just the way it is too! We bottled some of the IPA in wine bottles because that’s what we had and that beer seems to need more time than the 12 ounce bottles. One of our friends thought our slogan for the wine bottle beer should be “better than a 22″. I like that idea.
I love making beer. It’s definitely worth all the work when you can taste the love in the beer!
Hey Erica-
There is a place in Seattle that you can go and brew your own beer for the day! Isn’t that awesome. I imagine that is pretty popular, and would consider it myself if I decide to stay. Love you. Soma
Soma,
I just found your comment in my spam folder and just rescued it! I didn’t even know I had a spam folder:)
Anyway, the brew shop that we frequent here also has the same deal. They have all the supplies and you buy the ingredients and make the beer. It seems like a good way to go if you don’t want to invest in the equipment. Plus, maybe a good way to meet other cool people. (of course, everyone who brews beer is cool:)
Thanks for the comment!
