A little bit out of order but only by 1 post. The way we kept our sanity during the whole waiting process was deciding to brew our own beer!! As some of you know Chris and I are
HUGE beer fans...no girlie drinks for this girl just straight craft beer. So when I got a Groupon email for an
Introductory Home Beer Brewing Class at
Beer & Wine Hobby I of course HAD to buy it. Chris and I went, loved it and bought our starter kit that day. We decided to do the Blonde Ale...named it Bayside Blondie...AND it was going to be ready to drink the official first weekend we would have the place. We used the instructions this time around but are looking forward to experimenting with different flavors and come up with the next Sam Adams Boston Lager :)
The Home Brewing bible and all the brewing gear
Creating the Wort by adding the muslin bag full of grain and then the malt extract
Adding the Wort to the primary fermenter, checking the specific gravity and we're good to start the fermentation process!!
10 days later...
Our beer reached the necessary specific gravity and we moved to the secondary fermenter
About a week later...
We are ready to bottle!!
Bottle Number 1
2 weeks and counting til we get to taste our masterpiece!!
