Still Here...

Hey all!

Brad and I are still here; we just wanted to make sure no one though we disappeared.

Brad has been overwhelmingly busy with an insane clinic schedule in the new year as he finishes up acupuncture school, leading to an unfortunate lack in brewing.

We had some problems with the Christmas Ale fermenting in the bottle. Brad wanted to go with lower carbonation so added less priming sugar than suggested... and in turn it may not have carbonated at all.

The IPA, after 3 transfers and a 4th into the keg, STILL had too much sediment to fight through at first... but that might be taken care of as we plan to transfer that yet again to another keg and see what happens. On the upside, 3 or 4 glasses in, the sediment would pass and the IPA was damn tasty.
