batch #103 - Heather Ale

Here's to SPRING, and the happy appearance of flowers everywhere!  This batch of my Heather Ale landed 78 bottles and one 5-liter keg in my cellar, all best tasted after May 25.

Due to Noah's request, I am beginning with this batch, to post my recipes in the messages area below each post.  Let me know how it turns out, if you brew a batch yourself, and please save me a bottle!

HAMs Team Brew: Whiskey Barrel Baltic Porter

Seven homebrewers in the Roaring Fork HAM's Homebrewers Club got together and brewed a 55-gallon batch of Baltic Porter, and aged it for a couple of months in a decommisioned barrel from Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey.  I helped them to create a nice label for the bottles they planned to put away, and even labels for the kegs they planned to fill.  Homebrewer Tony May created the "pigman in a barrel" club logo for the label.
I can't wait to taste their work at the next Club meeting, May 10!
