Today I got to help get someone a well-deserved traffic ticket on the way home from mailing off my tax paperwork.

Two days of SOLID fermentation action makes this my busiest beer ever. Probably means it’s the first time I’ve properly mixed the yeast in.
We did 8 hours of brewing on Saturday (counting bottling a Belgian white I had ready) and have 15 gallons of assorted Stouts fermenting their way ( Read more... )
