Got old Abbot bottled today and wasn't really pleased with what came out. It's obviously really watered down and possibly even oxidized? It still smells great though! hahaha. I'm excited to see how the final project is. I'm sure it'll still be a damn drinkable homebrew. I cracked open a pale ale yesterday though to see how it was going to fair at the homebrew meeting tonight and it came out pretty good! My efficiency on the mash was terrible, and I went a little heavy on the aroma and flavor hops, so I ended up with a pretty serious cascade (the only flavor and aroma hop I used) pale ale! It's very flowery...almost a sweet flowery.
But alas, I'm going to be late if I don't get going! I love these meetings because the guys and gals that come out never disappoint :)
~Cheers!!!!

About Me
- Mr. Kyle, Brewer
- I remember the day I first fell in love with beer. I was a Chris Curry's house drinking the same old crap and Zach brought over some Blue Moon (i know..). I didn't realize that beer could taste so radically different (i know..)! So from that day forth I tried exciting beers until the day I experienced homebrewing. I've been hooked ever since!
"I'm on a never ending mission to make beer that myself, my friends, and my family can enjoy while collecting as many ribbons as possible!"
