Hail the Pale Ale

As the sun set on another day of brewing in Oakland, CA, Joe and I had bottled 50 bottles of gold that we are calling our Mystery Recipe Pale Ale.  With our first attempt at all grain brewing appearing to have been a non-failure, our heads have inflated just a bit more .  All we can do now is wait two weeks for the yeast to do one last bit of work and carbonate each bottle.

According to our hydrometer readings, our pre-fermented wort had a OG of 1.036 and the beer we bottled yesterday a FG of 1.010.  What does this mean?  It means we have an alcohol content of roughly 3.2%, making it legal for sale in Utah!  Well, except for our utter lack of any sort of license.

    Awesome pic. The sunset yesterday was pretty sweet.

    You guys need a place to do photo hosting. I’m thinking that you can open a free flickr account and then we can install the falbum plugin. Then you can link to your photos from posts and have a gallery embedded in your site. See mine here.
