Good evening! Sampling a few Barley wine ales I bottled up on Monday even tho they aren’t quite ripe yet, just couldn’t wait. Not exactly what I expected but not bad at all. Will be even better in a few more weeks. Oh yeah, they are 14%! On my 3rd one and #4 should about wrap things up I’d say =)
Three @ 14%?!? I’d be blind and barking at the moon.
Four bottles is a thorough sampling, indeed.
My first-ever rye ale is ready to keg. Will probably get it in the keg tomorrow and cook up a batch of my usual ale to keep those yeast going.
Am enjoying a nice ale from Medford, Oregon “Smooth Ryed.”
