Bottled the Holiday Spice Ale tonight. Very nice smelling, the sample tasted very good too. Not as spiced as it smells. Went from ~1043 to 1012. I say approximate because I do not trust the refractometer down to the thousandths place based on experience. I just use it to get a ballpark on OG and FG. Going to try to get the sour beer from this bottled tomorrow night. Also washed the yeast from the Holiday Spice, it was London Ale that will be used for an Oatmeal Stout.

Please tell me that’s not a land shark bottle.

Yes it is, I think Mark G brought it over for an event. I just made it’s day.

By the way, did I hear someone say Oatmeal Stout? When are you brewing that?

Waiting for the stuff to arrive first then I’ll pick a weekend. It would be great if it was this one, but it will probably be the next.

Stuff arrived. I’m scheduling to brew the Oatmeal Stout this Saturday if you (or anyone else) is interested. I may even try to get the Russian Imperial Stout in on Sunday…we’ll see.
