Homebrew update

I'm just not in the mood to get worked up about politics today, so I'll talk about beer instead. I do so love beer.

We have an ESB in fermenter we put down this past weekend; nice color and really active yeast so far. We plan to dry-hop with some Styrian Goldings next week, and bottle not too long after that.

A while back I mentioned a holiday ale and a pilsner we did; they were both great. The only problem is our homebrew supply shop, the Brewer's Apprentice, accidentally mislabeled the malt extracts- so we have a nice amber pilsner and a beautiful pale holiday ale. No big deal. The flavor on both is wonderful, and both came out with a lighter body than we used to brew- which was our goal. Happy happy.
