I enjoy the brewing process and watching with satisfaction as the airlock goes active knowing those yeasties are happy but sure do hate the wait after bottling!

I had a very productive brew day.  A neighbor that is also a home brewer came by and we hung out all day, drank homebrews and cider and generally had a pretty good day.

I showed him a few of my tricks and he was stunned to see the beers that went into the fermenters, he said that the beer going into my fermenters was more clear than the beer he takes out of his fermenters :)

I have to say, they are some very pretty brews !

The Pale Ale -



The Blond Ale -



I finished just before dark and oh was I ready for some serious couch time after being on my feet brewing for 10 hours !

And did I mention how much I enjoy homebrewing?  I may have but I'm not sure....

Cheers,
