Little Drummer Boy

Saturday night we got a sitter and went to a surprise party for one of our friends. She was genuinely surprised so it started off good and got better from there. It was mostly attended by people we work with which is fine as we work with some groovy people. The liquor was flowing and people were letting their hair down so to speak. One huge bonus is that it was in the same apartment complex that we live in so it was a five minute walk home.

Sunday I got a call from a buddy and fellow brewer that his brew was ready to bottle. Q and I hopped in the car and zipped over to his apartment to lend a hand. He is brewing up a nicely hopped IPA. He juiced up the alcohol level by adding some sugar at the start of the process so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. All in all we have bottled around 15 gallons of brew in the last week. 5 gallons each of nut brown, IPA and an amber. Next up for me is a Belgian style ale. Here are some pics of Ben bottling up the IPA.




This brew may look a little dark for those of you familiar with IPA. It will "clear" in the next week or so and become a bit lighter. I'll be sure to get some pics of it once it is ready.

While we were there Q decided to rock out on Ben's electric drums. Here are some pics of that:


Adios,
