My mother loves Four Peaks Arizona Peach ale, so when I got my hands on some, I decided to do her one better. First brewday, boil ran long (did I pass out on the couch and top it off with chilled filtered water after I reawoke after a 4 hour boil? Maybe). 2 days into primary, the airlock popped off and was replaced by my brew partners roommate with no liquid in it. So quite a few things went wrong, but is the resulting beer still excellent? I think so and my mother still loves the stuff, but we'll find out after Bluebonnet Brew Off. NTXHB all the way, and my first entry into competition!
