Finally had another brew day. This one is really mellow with lingering apricot, citrus & grapefruit. Mmmmmmm

Yes. It is an Old Beginning. Loved finally brewing again. Going to enjoy this one. Too bad the last gallon didn't fit in the damn keg.

Yum! First time my first glass from the keg wasn't harsh. Making progress! Love the orange. Gonna be dangerous.

Apricot, citrus, and a little tangerine. Soft with good mouthfeel. Going to evaporate fast.

Gil Rowland is drinking an Obviously by The Hop Mine at Untappd at Home
Obviously this is gonna burn twice. Beer is a lot too subtle. Obviously disappointed that it doesn't match the wort flavor. Still have work to do. Obviously.

Gil Rowland is drinking a KaMeds by The Hop Mine at Untappd at Home
My first stab at making a triple. It's boozy but good. Foam behaves well. I do like the orange to cut the alcohol (a little). Just what the doc ordered for this job.

This was my first all grain, and my first time kegging. This batch was harsh and a bit astringent when I first tapped it. But it's mellowed a lot. On the thin side, but good. Keg won't last long.

Gil Rowland is drinking a Mudder Lode Lager by The Hop Mine at Untappd at Home
Lager cleaned up very well. Finally carbed up, but not over. Lost the vinegar flavor thankfully. I like it.

Carbed it so I didn't have to wait to bottle condition. It's OK. Going to try it again after I bottle condition. Hope the profile improves.

Gil Rowland is drinking a Hazy Ore-n-Eight by The Hop Mine at Untappd at Home
Don't judge me. Was expecting no carbonation after 2 week bottle conditioning like my first batch. This one foamed big time. Good tropical flavours, and a nice 8.3% kick. Tasty.

Gil Rowland is drinking a Squished Gold Dust by The Hop Mine at Untappd at Home
Only 1 week of bottle conditioning - very flat unfortunately. Flavor is good though. Need a few more days to try it with carbonation.
