Third Brew – Amber Ale
Posted by Chad on Sunday 24 February 2008
As I mentioned yesterday, we made our Amber Ale last night. I did most of the work, but BEER mom helped a lot by holding the spoon and adding the yeast, so let’s give her credit too.
It seems like this batch took less time than the other two, but I suppose we are becoming more experienced. We started around 11pm with the extract pictured in yesterday’s post, and finished just after midnight.
As with the other brews, I had to prep and sanitize everything first, like our brew pot, fermenter, spoons, and measuring cups.
New Brew Tonight
Posted by Chad on Saturday 23 February 2008
BEER mom and I will be making some of this tonight:
We had to go with a malt extract again because the glass carboy I inherited didn’t make it to our place yet. There is also a hops shortage going on, so this is a cheaper route and tastes just as good.
I plan on taking pictures again as we brew, and I will post them tomorrow. We will bottle it next weekend and it will be ready the week after that.
BEER mom also picked up some ingredients to make her own style of cream soda, so we will be starting that in a few days too. It needs to ferment and will have a very slight alcohol content when it’s ready.
