Brown Ale maybe not a bust?

So the Brown Ale that went into bottles early this week looked much better than previously thought. Despite the inital fermentation coming up and thru the airlock then the following week minimal bubbles evident we still got a good smelling and looking brew. It will now just be a matter of time until we know if it is any good. Wait till you hear about our original and terminal gravity. The alchol content was amazing at 7.9%! Maybe it was that secret ingriendient?

How we solved colder fermenting tempertures without taking over the fridge in the kitchen!

Okay so the pilsner requires colder fermenting tempertures so we decided to build a cooling cabnient. We found a small window airconditioner from a friend, an old cabnient and $13 worth of siding foam board and we have a cooling cabnient. It has worked amazingly well these past couple weeks. Check out some of the photos of our creation.
