They smell great.

Not sure the pic will be visible , but here we are at Bruce’s… Brewing an American Stout and a Witbier… Sampling various homebrews.

A perfect day. Auburn won. Alabama lost. Plenty of great homebrew.

Can’t get a good phone pic of the beer because of the sun. This will do. We’re on a strip of grass here and have about 10 two liter bottles of various homebrew.

He uses a drill and paint stirrer to help cut cooling time when using an immersion chiller.

I saw this Guiness Truck on the way to work today and couldn’t recall ever having seen one in Alabama before. I was driving from Auburn to Montgomery, I suspect this truck was coming from Atlanta. Alabama has a rigid 3 tier licensing system and provides that Alabama licensed manufacturers can only ship to Alabama licensed wholesalers with which they have an exclusive agreement for a designated territory. So I suspect Guinness has a wharehouse in Georgia, and this truck was shipping to an exclusive wholesaler for the Montgomery area. In Alabama, when you see a Budweiser truck delivering to a 7-11, it is not Budweiser delivering, but a licensed wholesaler with Budweiser advertising plastered all over the truck.

Transferring a Biere de Garde tonight. FG was 1.012. I’m not sure if this is going to be good. I have a difficult time judging beers this warm and flat. I seem to pick up something wrong but I’m not sure. The Dopplebock I checked on just before this is infected, and I know why. More on that later. Good story, or rather pathetic. One out of two – maybe one that is – is bad.

My new friend Curt at the first Auburn Free the Hops meeting. Pic is blurry. I need to upgrade my Treo.
