Gratification!!!

[GySgtLynn]

Today my battalion is celebrating the Marine Corps Birthday. I have been practicing all week for the ceremony. We had practice at noon today, in preparation for for tonights birthday ball. So before practice I took a bunch of Marines out to my truck and poured some glasses from my growler... The response was awesome!! One Marine asked where can I go to buy this.... another stated I am going to drink this slow so I can savor the flavor... I then told them that I made it... I think half still don't believe me... but it was gratifying as I always critique my beers harsh... The beer I made was an IPA.. Just wanted to share that info.

That's awesome; congratulations. I'm still waiting for gratification from my beers. I am pretty much 1-2, but I think I know where my probelms were: hot fermentation.
