Update me!

Holy shit, we're behind.

Where are we?  We bottled the Scotch Ale (final gravity was approx 1.019), using maple syrup (1.5 cups, with .5 cups water added, brought to a boil for a few minutes).

We brewed the Red Seal clone, and that has been racked into the secondary (gravity was about 1.010).

The Ommegang Abbey clone is still in the primary, and should probably be racked soon.

The non-traditional Ale that Andrew found on Homebrewtalk is in the primary, and is fermenting like crazy mad.  It's original gravity was 1.045, I believe. 

We had a large group sample our wares last weekend.  The Hibernation is a big hit, but there were also few of them in existence...I think there is one bottle left in my house, but Andrew claims to have some held in a secret cave, somewhere.  The coffee/pumpkin porter was also a big hit, and surprisingly, the Winter Belgian has nothing but fans.  Easy Plateau is drinking as well as it ever has, and the Rye is a delicious, fruit bomb of a beer.  Don't ask about the Saison.

  2. That's right. Flip flopped the numbers.

    It smells good. Fruity, hoppy. Like beer.
