The picture above is a snapper of the bottles just after bottling. One more week and I will be able to chill and enjoy. Of course, there is the whole hoping it came out first before actually enjoying, but the journey to get there has been fun.
Tammy, my wonderful wife, bought me a brewing kit for our anniversary. It's not one of those 'Mr. Beer' kits either. I'm not quite ready to do everything from scratch, so the amount of brewing I'm doing consists of steeping the grains, boiling the wort, transferring to the fermentation container, transferring to the secondary fermentor (clarifying really) then bottling.
My first batch is a 'San Diego IPA' which is a recipe kit that contains everything you need in terms of ingredients to make a beer. I won't get into the details of the brewing process but it was a fun time and I can't wait to do it again.
Next up? Scorpion Tail Scottish Ale.
Oh, I'll post results of the first pour when it happens in a couple weeks.
