  • Success - Blond smash. Once again proves that 5 weeks in the bottle is a magic number. 4 weeks? Eh. 5 weeks? AMAZING.

    Failure - Watermelon wine. It’s just sour. Not in a good way, at all. Tastes kinda like the rind, though there was no rind in it. Maybe backsweetening?

    Waiting - choc hazelnut porter. choc comes thru, hazelnut not at all. Needs more aging time. I feel like darker beers need more time. It’s almost 3 months, gonna test it.

    Fermenting - ginger bugged root beer. Made root beer syrup to make root beer soda. Was ok, needs work. Remaining half into a 1 gal fermenter. It was due 2 weeks ago, but it’s fine. It’ll need back sweetening and bottle carb, but that’ll be another drumroll 5 weeks.

    On deck - It’s time for a holiday beer. Something spiced. IDK what. It takes 2 months, so it’ll be ready early December if I start now. Hmm…
