What a day!

What a day, indeed!
I didn’t actually brew today .. but I kegged 3 batches and bottled the remains of the pale ale from the competition a couple months ago. I had 11 bottles worth of beer left after kegging 10 gallons!
I tried some of the Oatmeal Stout (fantastic) and Ariel’s cranberry ale (only got a small sip, but it’s pretty good.) It’s pink!
I also kegged a pale ale that I brewed from a kit a couple of weeks ago. Kit brews are nice… everything is included and ready to roll as soon as you open the box. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how fast/easy brewing from extract in the kitchen seems after doing a couple of all-grain batches outside. I swapped out the dry yeast that it normally comes with for a nice American ale yeast, and it tastes decent. Our pale ale recipe is better, of course!
Now comes the hard decision … which beer goes on tap first?
Currently on tap:
1) Holiday Ale
2) Rye Porter
