Apologies

It's been awhile since I've posted, but it's been awhile since I've done anything with the brew. But not to worry. Ophelia is still in secondary, and she should benefit from the aging by losing that ripe, new beer flavor caused by active yeast. Judging by the looks of her, the fact that she's still crystal clear (as clear as a dark beer can be) and has nothing floating on top, this may be our most stable batch yet. I'm excited to see what the aging process will lend to her. We'll bottle this week sometime, hopefully, but exams and such have made the end of the semester rather hectic. Not to mention female distractions.

Hannah, therefore, is off to a late start, and we won't be able to get her out by Christmas. I ordered 20 blank six-pack containers, with label paper, to make up nice professional looking samplers a gifts. Consider yourself lucky if you get one. They'll contain 2 of each of our remaining beers: Jasmine, Cristin, and Ophelia. That's the plan anyway.

So Hannah's next up. We'll brew her definately during holiday break, if not sooner, depending on available time. After that, I'm looking into some more adventurous recipes, including trying to capture the essence of Chai in beer form. It may be a flop. We'll just have to see. Nothing has completely sucked so far.

Sorry it's been so long. Don't worry, we're still going strong.
