Finishing our craft brew project.

After the sugar was added we then filled the bottles. The sugar was necessary to feed the little microbes that make the alcohol. We ended up with 48 beers and a couple of 16 ounce bottles. Enough for friends holidays and good times!

Capping the beer!

Putting the caps on the beer. Well the beer is not quite done. We put the caps on, but the yeasty critters need to eat their sugar and finish their job. So just a little bit more time, and they will be ready, for the final job cycle- enjoyment of a job well done!

The whole process of home brewing or craft brewing was a great experience, I would recommend anyone try it. Pairing beer with different meals, and trying out different ingredients in the beer to make it original is fun.

It's easier then you think, and actually affordable to but the beer making kit and the ingredient/ recipe kits too. Check out the website where we got the kit and the ingredients for our now famous Rumble Fish Beer!

Second fermentation & Beer label/ logo

We drained the beer from the first fermentation bucket to the second, and made a logo and label for the Beer.

Again it's Rumble Fish Winter Ale, and here is the design:

Beer wert tasting.

After boiling the beer, and then cooling it to 80 degrees in a sink of ice, you can then taste what you are making.

Kind of like a hot beer tea.

This is called wert, at this point, the hard part is done, and you can seal it, and wait.
