Quite a beer day today. Started off kegging up an IPA and a wheat beer, with a break in the middle for some emergency sink repair. Apparently one of the drains in the kitchen sink decided to dissolve… I was feeling around under the sink looking for a leak leading to a puddle on the kitchen floor… and stuck my finger through the drain pipe. Woops.

I just started brewing my next batch… another IPA to serve at a LAN party in a couple of weeks. Trying out some new hops in combination with some old standbys… Amarillo, Mt. Hood, and Cascade. Should be pretty tasty!

Once I’m done with that batch I’ll have to see about bottling up an imperial stout that I brewed darn near a year ago… assuming I’ve got any energy left.
