Just an update on the latest homebrew: I opened the first of the Pale Ale that I made in September and did a blind taste test a couple of weeks ago with it and a commercial Pale Ale. I had three judges, myself included, and of the three on the panel, each preferred beer number one which I am excited to say was mine. I haven't tried it since. I've been waiting to have it as "new baby celebration" beer, and since it was only a half-batch, I wanted to save all I could. I'm hoping it continues to get better and hits it's peak in a week or two. That will be perfect timing.
Also, I have an oatmeal stout that I brewed about a month ago. I have since transferred it into the secondary and added some bourbon soaked oak chips. It tasted pretty good before the oak, so here's hoping I didn't ruin anything through experimentation. If it all turns out alright, I'll be opening the first of those at Christmas. That's all for the fall brewing season. We'll have to see how busy I get coming up this winter for any more. Cheers!
