Christmas Beer Bottled

Mint Chocolate and Gingerbread are done.  I must say, the ginger did not come out like it did this year, but I've found with spiced beer that less is usually better.  Either way, it's a nice stout.  The Mint Chocolate was good, with plenty of chocolate and a slight mint flavor.  As usual, we didn't end up with as much as I would have liked, but still enough to share.  Last night Santa made his list.  Were you naughty or nice?

Another drought

Not weather-wise, just blog-wise.  Probably because there isn't much to tell you!  Let's see, I did finally rebrew the oktoberfest, it should be done fermenting shortly.  Harvested hops, got a whopping 1oz of cascade and 1/2oz of magnum.  I guess that's better than nothing!

My Mint Chocolate was a hit at the Summertime Brews Fest, so it will likely end up being my christmas beer this year.  Otherwise, the brewing has been slowed by an avalanche of weekend activities and a pesky little thing I call "the JOB".
