I'm a little late with my summer lager, but hey, better late than never :mug:
 
Can't wait for this one to complete fermenting (then lagering.) First wort hopping is making for a really tasty wort...
 
Just transferred to secondary for the long haul... Looks and tastes like a Coors Light. Sad, but it's what I was shooting for so I guess it's not all bad ;-)
 
A coors light type beer dry hopped with a couple ounces of intresting hops sounds like a nice summer beer to me.
 
That Summer Light Lager didn't last long; so this weekend I'm off to the races with run #2 of American Amber Ale BIAB... 1st run was really good, but I over carb'd so ended up with some gushers. Won't make that mistake again :mug:
