So today we had the fine pleasure of racking our Nut Brown to secondary, which we're doing to further clarify it before we keg it. We got a great final gravity of 1.012 - 1.014, giving us around ~4.7% ABV. I do believe this wound up turning out great. Though it was flat, the flavor was exactly what I'd hoped for and the color was spot-on. Hooray for SRM calculators! Now, while we do plan on kegging this beer, we may find ourselves wanting to pass around a few bottles to friends and family. If and when that happens, here's a label for those bottles:
Simple enough to get the point across. Clearly I'm no graphic designer, but I feel it's at least adequate.
On to other happenings, we're definitely getting around to acquiring new photos for the banner image as well as for the profiles. I know those placeholder images are pretty sexy, but you'll soon have to live with disappointment as they're replaced with our ugly mugs. Sorry about that.
Anyways, on top of everything else, we finished the day with grilling some fantastic ribeye steaks and an absolutely sublime beer called "Smoking Wood" by The Bruery, out of Orange County, CA. It's an Imperial Rye Porter aged in Bourbon Barrels. 14% ABV. Wowzers! It complimented the steak (which had been subjected to its own outstanding dry rub) wonderfully. All in all, it was a great day for the beer lovers that we are.
Till next time!
