My first brew pics.
Here are just a couple of crappy pics from my first couple of brews. In the first set of pics I am kegging a Pale Ale that I did. This was my very first brew. Alcohol is just about 6%. It tasted very good If I might say. I bottled only 4 bottles just to try and then I kegged the rest. i should have took more pictures of my brewing processes but I am a retard and did not think of it. I am not the biggest fan of Pale Ale's but it was an easy partial mash that I thought would be easy for my very first brew.
The second set of pics is where my heart truly lies. Porters and Stouts. This is going to be a Bourbon Porter. The recipe from the db here. This was a pretty heavy grain bill for only my second brew, 17lbs. This is also my first ALL GRAIN brew as well. This beer is very very smooth and malty. The tasting last night was amazing and I wanted to drink even more than I did. In the pics we are simply racking to the 2nd fermenter. This brew I have high expectations and i will be bottling this entire batch to further condition it. I cannot wait until this batch is finished.
I will do better pictures in the future. I have a honey Brown that I am doing tomorrow or Tuesday and I will try to pic it better to catch the brewing steps.
Talk to you guys later and hopefully we will meet up.
The guy you see in the pictures is my friend Craig. I am behind the camera.
Pale Ale
Porter
This actually tasted pretty decent.
Peace

I just filled a keg with some really dark stout. It was filled and force carbed a couple weeks ago and it has only been on the gas since tuesday. It is not really ready yet, but still pretty tasty. Glad to see that I am not the only one brewing dark beers in the summer.
... Give it a try on the next batch.
