so Brad went out and got a kegging system today for us. that's right, we're kegging beer to start, we do things right around here...
after some serious trials and tribulations, we THINK, repeat, THINK, we have managed to carbonate the beer in a 5 gallon corny keg. I imagine we'll really find out in a week when we go to pour our first carbonated alcoholic beverage.
It appears we somehow made a nice mild ale? Let's see what happens. We tried some straight out of the fermenter and it wasn't quite brown, nor quite amber, but somehow in the middle and weighing in at about 3.9% abv. On the upside, no off tastes! A little light on the flavor profile, but hey, it has a lot of that "drinkability" that bud light always talks about. Yes I just said bud light in a somewhat non-derogatory way, that may be the first and the last time that happens. ever.
at some point i'll figure out how to add pictures to this thing.
brad plans to brew tomorrow by himself. here is to hoping he does it and pulls off something good. then again, he just checked the weather. it's supposed to be 78 and sunny. i don't have high hopes.
