Bottled Batch 10 & 11......Full Brew Cabinet

Was almost out of brew, so I went on a tirade brewing 3 batches in about a months time. The Oatmeal Stout is turning out really well. After 2 weeks in the bottle it is smooth, well carbonated and getting better every time I try one. Sunday the 6th of Dec. I bottled the Ordinary Bitter and the Dry Irish Stout. I will post F.G.'s and some notes on both in the links to the beers, but they both are going to be great beers. The Dry Irish Stout's wort was ooh, la, la!

Batch Number 10: Ordinary Bitter

Brewed another batch tonight, this time a recipe from Austin Homebrew Supply. I am a huge fan of the British Bitter and this one was an easy batch to brew.

1/2 lbs. Crystal 60L
1/2 lbs. 2 Row Barley
5 lbs. Extra Pale Malt Extract

Irish Moss - Pinch at 10 min.

The O.G. was 1.041.

This beer is one of my favorite styles and am excited about trying it. Should be ready in a week or two..

Bottled 6/7/2009

Loved this batch of beer and the style. It had a nice golden color and good lighter malt flavor, but the hops and bitter set it apart. I think the British bitters are one of my favorite styles of beer and I will definitely brew something like this again soon.
