Some updates


Well, I've done a LOT since my last update.

-Almost completely finished my keezer
-Brewed another APA (same recipe. I was closer this time with an OG of about 1.04 but still not where I'd want to be).
-Bought enough grains, yeast, and hops for 4 more batches (Watermelon Wheat, Apricot Wheat, Scottish Heavy, and Oktoberfest/Marzen.)
-Bought some more equipment (3 Better Bottles, siphon, some CO2 gauges)

I plan on brewing the apricot wheat tomorrow.

The apfelwein has been pretty tasty. It's a bit strong and tart. People don't really know what to think of it at first, but I think it grows on you.

I tapped the APA, but it could probably use a bit more time conditioning. It's not bad, but hopefully the second batch is better.
