    It used to be 6%.....It's quite the step forward.

    Yuengling finally decided to start selling here also.....been selling like gangbusters.

    I haven't seen any craft stuff either, but, I haven't really been looking. It will take time for the distributors to hammer out the agreements with the brewers, I'm sure.

    Incidentally, a couple of piping friends helped me brew some beer last weekend, an amber ale the kit makers called Phat Tyre, an homage I believe to Fat Tire.
    Should be ready for July 4 festivities
    Couldn't have been better, brewing beer, playing pipes and drinking some beer they had made earlier.
    Good day, indeed.

    A day well spent indeed int: What % alcohol do you expect your brew to finish at? My last batch was a nice Honey Brown ale with 7%, very nice with a full pound of honey to it. Made with pipes in the background (on CD though) and kilted throughout! Some things were just meant to go together.

    I'm expecting somewhere in the 6% range. As long as it tastes good I'll be happy. I'm hoping that maybe this will become a good hobby for me, but, it is pretty exacting and detailed.

    For my next batch I'll probably do a stout...mmmm

    cheers.

    the new law should take effect in about a month, 60 days after the governor signed the law, I think.
    In the mean time I'll make due with Yuengling, which has finally decided to distribute in WV.
