Batch #113 - Watering Hole Summer IPA


Back into the swing of things, here is a 10-gallon batch of India Pale Ale, ready for Summer thirst-quenching.  The photo is a gift from Randy Udall, pictured here filtering water from a rare desert storm, a few years back.

Batch #112 - Amber Ale Duo



Due to popular demand (and the rapid depletion of Batch #110), half of this batch went into an encore of my Habanero Ale, now that I've found the "perfect" mixture of heat and thirst quenching qualities.
The other half of this batch went into a less than satisfactory attempt at bottling with CO2 gas and a "beer gun". Unfortunately, I attempted this on my own, and I am still a novice at carbonating with a can of gas, so the results were a mildly carbonated beer.  Well, here's to celebrating (and learning from) an occasional failure!

Batch #111 - Learning Tree E.S.B.

This Ale was brewed for the Waldorf School's fundraising dinner in March, so it was kegged, never bottled, and by the end of the party it was all gone.
