Well I realize its been awhile (I'm trying to post once a week but I skipped last week it was my b-day the big 29) but here I am... talking 'bout beer and other assorted booze. So my last brew project (when I use the term "project" it means I drank it, when I use the term "experiment" it means I tasted it.) was a brown ale my sole deviation from the standard recipe was to add 1 cup of honey to the wort prior to pouring it into the primary fermenter. I did not notice any odd behavior during fermentation process or during bottling but on opening the first bottle I had a small explosion of bubb-les (pronounced booblays) and foam...and foam...and foam...and well you get the picture well you don't because in the excitement of attempting to contain the foam I didn't have a chance to snap a shot. I'm not sure if the honey is to blame or not. All in all it was a good batch though and I got no complaints from anyone. Also I have come to the realization that since I brew once or twice a month and am trying to post once a week I will have to write about other things so next week we write about the 2cnd good thing out of three beer being the first...just in this list... not my life
Thanks to my taste testers for this batch: Fransens, Becky, Lis, and well...myself (big pat on the back) Cheers all
