Bottling Day.

I am incredibly excited about today. Today we bottle my own attempt at a Montana brown ale. I over hopped this batch relative to the normal brown recipe. I had no idea how it was going to turn out. Would it be too hoppy? I cracked up the primary fermentation tank and my nose caught the scent of a brown ale with a hint of citrus, with a little grapefruit undertone. It smelled delicious! You can’t really be a home brewer without the ability to delay gratification. After bottling the six gallons of beer today, it’s got to bottle condition for 3 weeks. So it’s end of January before we can enjoy this beer. Perhaps for my birthday on the 26th I can enjoy this brown beer.
