Labeled and tasted!!

Tried it out last night. Fucking good! It's a little more bitter than I thought it would be but definitely good and drinkable. Swaffer helped me make these labels, they look awesome on the bottles.

Beer Passion

I had a great time in Antwerp. Seemed like a nice city, the cathedral was beautiful. I got to try 7 beers in total(they were strong!) I had my first geuze, very different! My favorites were the Bush Prestige, and the Van Den Bossche Buffalo stout. I got a couple of bottles of Dues bier du Flanders to hold onto for a while and I also got an extra bottle of the buffalo stout to drink since it was so good. All in all, it was awesome, I just wish I brought my camera.

the beech is bottled!!

So after 3 days in the secondary, the bubbling slowed to about 2 bubbles a minute. Since we are headed to Antwerp for Beer Passion weekend and then to the Koln zoo on Sunday, I decided to get a jump and bottle tonight. Everything went great, and I even snuck a taste. I'm not commenting because I don't want to sway others either way. It's a little darker than I thought it would be but it's my first all-grain non-the-less.

sandy beech pail ale

Transferred to the secondary yesterday......it's alot less cloudy and foamy as the primary(as you can see.) It's only bubbling about two times a minute...fermentation is slowing. Only another few days in there and I'll bottle. It's a little darker than I expected, but it's still beer! More to come........

ADAC

So in Germany there is a company that is the equivalent of AAA, roadside assistance etc. Robyn and I have lived in 3 different houses since we have been here and at each one, this helicopter has landed in the yard. They will lit

really land anywhere. Power lines or not.

New

First blog...blah, blah blah. I hope to keep this thing updated as often as possible. Travels, brewing, and daily ramblings. Shitstorm is the name I gave my very small and inexperienced brewing scheme, oh well it's fun. I know it's vulgar.....just letting you know so you don't let me know.....Thanks, kay, bye.
