It's Been a While...

Well, the New Year is here...here's what has happened since last I typed:

Christian's Brew-

It got bottled just in time!  Bottled the beer on 12/8.  Christian was born on 12/24/12 at 1:11p.  He and Mom are both doing GREAT!  It is carbonated finally, the labels have been made and the first two bottles we handed out last week.  Now I just need to take the time to label some to take to family and friends...

Up The Kriek-

Still sitting...thinking I will get this one either kegged or bottled in late February.  I'm in no rush...

Game of Thrones Mead-

My brother decided that he wanted a mead made that was like those they drink on the TV show "Game of Thrones".  So, we started a 2 gallon batch using some interesting ingredients.  I will post a whole different thread about that once it's finished.  We are also going to be brewing a beer similar to what would have been available in those times as well.  I will be using current methods and sanitation, so it will not be historically 100% accurate, but I will use as close of a recipe as I can find.

Really, a whole lot has happened since November 26th...this is really just the recap of things alcohol related.

I think as I have started a new chapter of my life, there may be a little less time to devote to my hobby...at least until Spring.  Until then you may see a ramble here or there, but I will attempt to get better once things start getting less hectic around the house!

Cheers.
