Batch #204 - "Light Dance American Pale Ale"

 

I brewed this ale in late August 2020, using an even finer setting on my grain mill, this translated 24# of barley malt into a 7.25% abv beer.  The "sparge", or "hot rinsing" process to extract the sugars from the grain, took a full hour this time, so I've created a sparging setup that allows me to let it happen without my constant presence.  Brew day takes an extra half-hour as a result, but worth it.

This label photo is another slide from the 70's, taken with an SLR camera, sitting on my left shoulder while driving south on the New Jersey Turnpike, with the shutter open for a few seconds, to record the "dancing lights" of oil refineries beside the highway.

Cheers!
