This is from a bomber of the Partially Squeezed clone paul and I did back in November. I'm going to taste test this against the mini keg I have with the same stuff on sunday and see how it matches......I've found the keg takes a lil longer to be more drinkable but I also found (more than thrice) that the bottles taste REALLY good 2-3 weeks after bottling but after that, they start losing the freshness, hops and the citrusy flavor of most of the beers we do.
But this is a decent quality beer, better than the 'yellow fuzzy' stuff in the rest of the country.

Some homebrewed amber ale which was brewed I don't remember when. Was kind of hop heavy when I had it before but it has balanced out nicely now.

Now I know why one of my guests at a playoff viewing event asked me on Saturday night: 'How do you know when your keg is getting low?'. Just checked; he must have asked me, cause he had killed the keg of Seahawks Victory Beer I tapped last night for the party; 5 hour life from start to finish. Cheers!

Keep eating all those cup cakes and cookies, Rebel and you'll be the twelfth man all on your own. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm drinking one of my "Heart Of The Country" brown ales. They didn't carbonate very well. I boiled the dextrose in water (of course) before I added it the bottling bucket. Is that un-necessary?

I bottle with corn sugar. I boil the water in the microwave, then add the sugar and stir really well, then boil again in the microwave for a couple of minutes.

Oh crap, that's still in the fridge. I've had quite enough so I think I'll wait until I can speak clearly next week to enjoy that one. Thanks for the reminder.
