Mike's Homebrewing Notes - First 2 Mr. Beer batches - 25-Jan-2009
Bottling day! Taste tested both brews @ 2 weeks + 1 day. The Honey Maibock has mellowed considerably ... still cloudy, not such a kick in the a-- from the alcohol (flavor or smell) ... going to bottle only 4 (2 DP PETs + 2 EZ caps) today and let the remainder sit in the fermenter until next weekend.
The Brew Ha Ha has clarified quite a bit ... very mellow on the nose and palate even flat ... going to bottle this whole batch then start the Coopers Wheat Extract in the empty fermenter.
Bottles are sanitizing as I type ... time for another cup of coffee and a smoke (plus enjoying the little buzz these 2 shotglasses of beer have given me!) :o)
