This is a clear (Corona) bottle that we filled. I like to see the beer as it clears and ages. As you can see the beer came out very clear from the fermenter (not usually the case).


Now the beer has to sit in the bottle for at least a week for the yeast to do its work. At the end of the week the yeast should have settled onto the bottom of the bottle. We will open up a bottle to check the carbonation level. If it is lightly carbonated we will age it another week.


Well, on to the next days brew session.

Here I am kilted and holding up a glass of beer. I am in ultra casual kilt mode (waiting on my kilt belt and sporran strap from Cavscout). In front of me is the new burner I purchased for brewing. I must say this burner worked GREAT! (Rygar's toolbox exploded )


Here I am taking the grain bag out of the 170 degree water. I have the funny look on my face because I am yelling “hot”. (Note – these are the grains that I forgot last time)


Here I am adding the malt extract.
