Big Update for Natsmile Ales


Whew. A lot has been happening at the brewery since I last logged in. Right now we have a Bell's Best Brown clone and something we call 'Little Brother Brown', which was created from the second runnings of the Bell's clone. We added a bit of brown sugar to kick it up and it turned into a great session brown ale. The first All-Grain, Ken's Pale Ale, is almost gone, and the Pumpkin Ale was a big hit as well.

Just today we created an Anchor Steam clone, bottled a Sweet Stout, and moved a Rye Pale Ale to the secondary fermenter. We also tapped the first bottle of Bourbon Barrel Old Ale, brewed in February, and it was coming along nicely. Another two months in the bottle and it should be real nice. At 9.58% ABV, it's no joke.

Next week we're going to brew a Chocolate Raspberry Stout for the Christmas Season. Cheers!
