I'm BACK!

Wow. What a Winter.

Something happened to me that is the bane of homebrewers everywhere: I got busy. Not good. The batches I had going just sat for a while. *sigh*

The Braggot is okay, but it's obviously been oxidized. Not salvageable.
The Cyser I had going is WAY too tart. Not sure what happened. Not going to keep it.
The Orange Cinammon is okay, but it's got the taste of fermented oranges in it. Not what I was going for.
The Apple Butter Cyser survived. It's supposed to be racked onto cinnamon and nutmeg, but I like it JUST the way it is. I'm going to bottle it as soon as I decide what to bottle it in.
The malty lager came through very well. Its as if it's been lagered for a few months... go figure. I'll be kegging it asap.

I've spent a while straightening up and cleaning the brew room. Hopefully I can get started on some new projects this weekend. Things I have planned are:

• Winexpert Chocolate Raspberry Port kit (finally)
• Winexpert Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir kit (probably go half Pyment on this)
• Winexpert Washington Columbia Valley Riesling (ditto)
• Beer Yeast Mead Honey experiment (One beer yeast, different honeys)
• Russion Imperial Stout Braggot (try again eventually)

That should keep me busy for a while, at least.
