Altersbier

2011 Batch #02 - Altbier
(brewed 02/12)



Dubbel Dachs hosted SOGO Brewday 3 on Saturday: I rolled with an Altbier. I am a fan of the style and always wanted to try my hand at one. I am curious to see how it turns out as I have heard interesting things about the yeast.

This one was a mess on brewday but whatever - it's done and in the keg now. Although not what I was after, it tastes fine, and I will drink it.

On the plus side, Edwin and I conveniently kicked the Poochie Porter keg yesterday - exactley two months after kegging it...timing is everything.

This is only a test...
