I didn't brew, but I did get my second 5g batch bottled! It's a Liberty Cream Ale from MW...sure did smell good going into the bottles!

My sweet wife tells me that my first batch, an Autumn Amber Ale from MW, is MY beer, and this Cream Ale is HERS! Ya, we'll see about that!

Disaster struck!

I was going to brew my Copper Clarity Red Ale for the first time and as I was heating the water to 155 the thermometer broke. I guess it will wait until I go to the LHBS tomorrow to get a thermometer.
 
Brewing Red Tide ESB and oh what a wonderfull day, except for the minor boil over.

Ball Thumper II IPA in the fermenter. Dialed back my efficiency so I ended up with a bit more preboil volume...3 points higher than target and was able to leave behind all the trub and still have just over 6 gallons into the carboy. :rockin:
 
Brewed my Five o'Clock Pale yesterday... went with Safale S-04 to save some cash and... holy hell! Vigorous fermentation within 4 hours!
 
2.13 Gallons of "Fraggle Bock" bottled and carbing...
2.13 Gallons of "Donkey Lips Lager" in the keg and fermenting...

March 13th I will move up to my first partial extract brew using all of my new equipment!
