back to standard gravity!

[uglygoat]

finally the holiday brew season is over! we've been making lotsa high gravity beers for the past four-six months in anticipation of the holidays and now have a decent stock built up of big beers that will mellow and age over the course of time, and hopefully be around for next thanksgiving/christmas..

this weekend was a much needed return to beers of more common gravity.. my brother looked into the mlt twice this weekend and said, what are you making, miller lite? it was nice to make a standard session beer with eight or so pounds of grain per six gallons. i look forward to drinking these beers...

One of the things I like about brewing my own is that I can adjust the ABV of any of my brews. I love session beers because I like to drink/pee a lot, lol.

Actually most of the brews I have been doing lately have been above 1.050

My schwartzbier/Black ale experiment checked in at 1.038. They are ready, but I need to decide on filtering.
