The Brew is On

It's been a few months, OK almost a year since I've produced a batch of home brew. No not Mr. Beer, real honest to goodness home brew.

I dusted off the bottles, fermentation bucket, brew pot and accessories and started a boil for my first IPA. The Mother-In-Law got me the IPA for my b-day and I am just now getting around to setting it up. Ah the smell of wort boiling is great. My wife hates it, stinks up the place. But I know, in a few weeks it'll be ready to bottle.

It's been about 5 weeks since I completed the fermentation and moved the beer to the glass carboy. The beer was extremely clean so I'm really looking forward to this batch. I also got my 6 year old to help me cleanse the bottles and fill a few bottles.

In two weeks I should have about 45 bottles ready to drink and share. I'll keep updating my blog with my brew events, questions and thoughts. Have a recipe you want to share? Or want to ask a question...let me know!
