White house beer

I think it's good to brew it once more for commemoration. I did it twice and just don't care for it.

Bottled my White House Ale tonight. Surprised a little by the low gravity, 1.017. I had expected at least 1.020 with the Windsor yeast. Think that this was due to the strong farmers market honey drying it out. 8.5%ABV, but very pleased with the big honey taste. Didn't get the late addition Fuggles flavor that I got with another beer I put late addition Fuggles in, but then I got that after carb and lagering so we'll see. I think the gypsum addition did actually increase my IBUs, but again, we'll see after the beer is finished. Excited about my American flag bottle caps and more excited than I would have thought about this beer itself. Strangely after the farmers market honey, this brew is the most expensive I have made and also the one I have the least expectation, so hopefully it surprises me. Ironic?
