You win some, you lose some

Well, the hops from the hug didn't make a good beer. I don't believe it was the hops that made it bad, but just an aftertaste that developed during the fermentation.

Anyways, Northern Brewers was having a sale on some of their annual limited series farm beers, so I picked one up. Just an extract kit, but still proved to be both fun and encouraging (due to the last failure).

Sure enough, it is fermenting like a champ here in the basement. I'm listening to the tiny burps of the airlock as I type.

Should be ready in a month.

0.5 lbs Gambrinus Honey Malt
3.15 lbs Pilsen Malt Syrup
3.14 lbs Pilsen Malt Syrup
1 oz Tradition Hops
