A day of bottling

People of Beerville today I am bottling up my Vanilla Porter. I added in my last addition of Bourbon Vanilla in to the priming sugar for bottle conditioning. My wife and I took one last taste of the beer before bottling it and  it was GOOD. I can't wait till it is carbed  up and ready to drink.










Brew Today, See you tomorrow.

In to Secondary we Go.

Today we transferred the 1610 Brown Ale in to secondary. I also took a gravity reading and it was 1.018. Not bad, my FG I was looking for was 1.016 so we will hit that in secondary, I'm sure.  Also we did a tasting, You will not believe  what it tasted like. Go ahead and guess... Beer, well flat beer. It had a nice biscuity, roasted malt flavor with a little bitterness for the hops.  But hey the yeast did its job.  It did such a good job I am going to harvest some of it. But that will be for a later post.

Next

Now we wait again maybe a week or so, If I can wait that long before we bottle them up. I can't wait for them to carbonate.  They are going to be so good.

 That's it for now.

Brew today,  See you tomorrow.
