What are you drinking now?

Time to get Irish for lunch. Beef and potato stew, made with Guinness, and a homebrew brown porter.

By the way. Porter is not that great...but I made it so I'm drinking every last drop of the 5 gallon batch (my first brew). Second brew is not looking much more promising, but batch #3 is all grain (in fermenter) and I'm really hoping it marks a turning point.

Forgot to post the first one. I was heating my strike water and trying to figure out how to do something on Untappd so I forgot. It's my American blonde that I brewed for the wedding I went to in October. Apparently Untappd notices when you type in the word wedding because I got a wedding beer badge after I posted that. And now, since my sparge has decided to be exceedingly slow (45% wheat malt) I am drinking another Palate Wrecker and I will probably finish it before I get the wort boiling.

Unsticking a stuck sparge is a cause for celebration, right?

^ Good solid beer. I was thinking about brewing today. Its not too late to head to the LHBS to grab grain, but I also need to pack for our trip to ireland. Hmmm.....

Or just head to a bottle shop, grab a few good bombers, and really celebrate St Paddys the way it should be haha.
