Steam Ale Bottled

Steam Ale Bottled... 41 bottles without much fuss.


The last brew has come on well, the dregs from the bottom of the fermentation bin have conditioned well after 5 weeks. Time to name it and get some labels printed.

Thinking about a lemon flavoured brew next, probably will use the the goose as a base, but adjust it to just Centennial and Halleratu Hops.
