LOTS has happened since our last update. Phil and I have brewed so many beers now that we've started to loose track!
There's been the:
Red (more like amber) Ale
Citra Pale Ale
Cardamom Blonde
Columbus IIPA
Black IPA
Hazelnut Brown Ale
Rye Beer
Plus many more!
Now we're 4 batches deep in bottling and have almost no time to do it...I guess that's the consequence of working too hard.
Recently I scored a job working at the local homebrew supply store in Los Altos, CA: www.morebeer.com which has been an amazing learning experience! I even had the pleasure of using their 10 gallon system to brew up a second version of our Black IPA (it's really, really good).
I also recently attended the "Going Beyond the Kit" brewing class at Sudwerks (through UC Davis Extensions) in Davis, CA and learned that I have way more questions about brewing than I had answers. Good thing too because I'm going back for the "Intensive Brewing Science for Practical Brewing" course in June.
Pictures at the end of the post. If you want to see anything in particular, post it in the comments and we'll make it happen.
Cheers, gentle readers!
