Latest batch of beer almost complete

I planned on having this batch finished when I finished finals but I got a bit lazy and had to bottle it Thursday. Now I have some Christmas gifts for my family and friends! Happy holidays everyone!

Draft Kit, New Beer Kit, Birthday Party

As a present to myself I finally bought the draft system so instead of bottling my beer after fermenting I can now put it directly into my keg and force carbonate it. I'M EXCITED! This has been one of my brewing goals for awhile and everything is finally falling into place. This next beer I will be brewing will be a Plain American Ale, this should be a light, crisp, refreshing beer and something that can be enjoyed during anytime of the year. I kinda wanted this to take place a month ago so it would be ready for my birthday party but oh well. Anyway I plan on documenting my entire process and helping anyone who's interesting in getting into this hobby!

Successful first batch of beer

A couple weeks ago I brewed my first beer and last weekend I bottled the end product. I had a bottle after 3 days of carbonation and it tasted fantastic. If I had to compare it to anything, it tasted very similar to New Belgiums Snow Day winter ale. The beer will be completely done in another week and after I have the final product I'll tell you how to brew it yourself! Next week is finals week so I'll be pretty busy but after that I'm free and clear to have some beer!
