Added the cherries to the Belgian dubbel. Had to take a pint of beer out first because the fruit wouldn't all fit. Can't wait to drink it after work tonight!

Husband's HB 2015 Imperial Pumpkin ale. Excellent.

It does remind me of a s'more...

Birthday Bomb! From Prairie Artisan Ales. Seemed appropriate for today.

Spiced cherry dubbel boiling now.

Brewed my birthday beer - a spiced cherry dubbel (I have found overnight mashes to work well for my limited time to brew) from the 12 beers of Christmas. Looking forward to tapping it Christmas Day.

Picked up the yeast and grain for my Christmas beer, which I'll be brewing Friday. I'm doing a 2.5 gallon spiced cherry dubbel. It'll be called 4. There will be 4 pounds of cherries added, and 4 is one of the LOST numbers (all my beers are a refernece to LOST, thanks to my awesome tap handle...

HB Strawberry milkshake IPA (Kate)

So far, a schwarzbier, a mango blonde, a RIS, and a strawberry milkshake IPA. Next up is a spiced cherry dubbel (the same one from the 12 beers of Christmas), which will be tapped on Christmas Day. I'll probably try to get a SMaSH in soon so I have something on tap.

Tapped Kate. Delicious strawberry milkshake ipa.

Milkshake Deams with Tangerines. Not a fan of the stuff floating around in the beer. I personally don't find that appealing. Taste is pretty good though.

Sampled the Kate and decided she's ready to keg. Will likely keg after work tonight.

2014 Siren Noire. My last one of this vintage. Aged well.

When it is 81° at 11:00 pm, this is the perfect beer.

Added the strawberries and vanilla to Kate.

I brew 2.5 gallon batches. I did the calculations on my Sawyer - a 9.5% whiskey imperial stout very loosely based on a KBS clone. It came to roughly $1.47 per 12 oz bottle. In our area, KBS is $24/4 pack or $6-$10/bottle. I used hops we already had in our freezer, so my cost was a bit lower...

Juliet, because the 2010 wine I bought for our anniversary was no good.
