well yesterday was very successful if i do say so myself.
had a couple of friends come over to help me bottle up my cherry wheat and pumpkin ale. after the bottling we brewed a Double Chocolate Stout. All of this time we were drinking my first home brew, a John Bull American Beer...
so here's a couple of pictures...
Cherry Wheat, 4.0% ABV and 67.9% Attenuation. a little low, but it has the nicest cherry flavor and a slight red tint... This one is gonna be real popular.
next up was my pumpkin ale, 4.7% ABV and 74.1% Attenuation. Very nice subtle pumpkin flavoring with a nice amber/orange tint. One of my friends said this one was gonna be his favorite...
and finally and this one is gonna be popular too. a double chocolate stout. and i was totally blown away when taking my OG on this one. The kit instructions said OG would be about 1.056. well i ordered the extra 1% ABV boost from AHBS and my OG was a huge 1.070. If the FG ends up at 1.013 like the kit says it should, this baby is gonna end up @ 7.4% ABV with 80.4 Attenuation !!! The taste on this was a nice roasted barley flavor. The chocolate on this kit does not go into the primary or secondary, but is added at bottling time. YUM YUM, can't wait...
Fermentation had begun when i checked on the airlock @ 2:00 PM today. 3 bubbles per second.
