Okay, so it's been a while...

...but there hasn't been that much to report.

The beer that was brewed on Sept. 28th has finally been bottled!  Today was my first day off (from one of my jobs) in a bit, where I could take the time to get it done.  I didn't end up with as much beer as the first batch, since there was a lot of sediment in the bottom of the carboy that I tried to avoid.

This beer is much darker in color (read that: copper) although I would not call it a "copper ale" by any means.  I figure I'll give it a couple of weeks before I move it to the fridge.

This is my last beer in my current apartment, and given that my fiance's place is a little too nice to make a royal mess out of with a brewing, I probably won't be brewing again until at least May, when we've moved into our new place.  So I wouldn't count on too many updates from me until that time.
