Brew #17: Brown Ale

Posted by Chad on Friday 13 November 2009

After about 3 months of not brewing anything, I finally ran out and decided to make another brown ale.

Brown Ale

We started it on the 5th and bottled it Wednesday, so it should be ready just in time for Thanksgiving. I have a ton of unused bottles sitting around, so I will likely brew something else in a couple weeks.

Check out The Smith Family to see what else we’ve been doing.

I posted it elsewhere a while back, but forgot to do so here. Kaden recently (and finally) mastered the art of walking.

As for the homebrew, I still have a lot left and have slowed down a little with drinking it.  My next brew will probably be a brown ale in October.

For someone who makes a lot of beer, I don’t take many pictures of my work. Hopefully that will change.

My Brazilian coffee beer has been done for a few weeks, and thanks to a helpful commenter, I noticed my Red lager is too. 135 bottles of homebrew take a long time to drink, so I have plenty of time to spend with the baby as I think of something for my 17th beer.

BEER mom says her dad wants to watch me make my next brew. I recently ordered 10 lbs of Kona coffee, so a Kona coffee beer isn’t out of the picture.

As for Kaden, he’s finally getting more teeth and will be 17 months next weekend.  The last 17 months have been amazing. I am definitely glad we had a boy first instead of a girl. Here are a few pictures from the last couple months.
