Home brew 2

Since the sound of the air-lock bubbling through the middle of the night has ceased and the specific gravity has settled Kath and I decided to bottle the second brew last night. The Church I.P.A. is going to be a rip snorter at an approximated 7.0% alc/vol. The bottling went smoothly and we managed to only have to label 3 of 30 bottles with the infamous pooh bear sticker. The pooh bear sticker is for the bottles that contain a lot of the dregs (only to be used when we can't find any other beer in the house!).

We also prematurely tasted some of The Church Lager (it's not meant to be ready for another two weeks), and it tastes remarkably like beer. In fact it is quite nice if we do say so ourselves. Good sign since it was tasted early and is supposed to improve with age!

Next on the list: wheat beer.

By the way, depending on our consumption rate I have estimated that after the next brew at any point in time we will have an approximated 60L of beer at our flat. This equates to 7.5 slabs in VIC-speak, or 7.5 cases in NSW-speak. Now that's a lot of beer!
