Bottled the first batch of homebrew last night. Now, to wait 2-3 weeks for carbonation and conditioning. Sent about 1/3 of the batch back to Ohio.
Brewed up some "Holiday Cheer*" and some Apfelwein** today. Apfelwein has started fermenting, I'd imagine the "Holiday Cheer" will catch up sometime in the morning. The Apfelwein already increased its temperature by 4-6 deg. F today. By itself. So cool.
So, around New Year's, I'll have 10 gallons of hooch ready to distribute. Saving your empties? I hope so! BTW, did you know that over 15,000 gals. of this Apfelwein have been made?
2009 Grand Total: 15 gal. homebrew.
- 5 gal. Orly's "Old Speckled Hen" extract/steep clone.
- 5 gal. EdWort's Apfelwein.
- 5 gal. Holiday Cheer.
