Cream ale

First try at a cream ale. Except for knocking my manifold loose it went pretty well. Boiled off a little too much do added back 1.5 pints of water at the end to be spot on. Cooled to 70 and pitched right away. Only bittering hops so I did a little bit of freezer cleanout. Liberty, summit and fuggles.

Used my new bucket screens and the filtering seems to have gone pretty well.  It should turn around in a couple weeks.

Rye Not Challenge, 2nd place

I'm putting my score sheets online.  I have about a case left, so I'm going to make sure I have a couple cold before I re-taste while reading the judges notes.

Best validation in my book, Andrew Castner (Brewer) from the Ram who organized the contest asked me to drop off a few more if I had any left.  I consider that a complete win no matter what the score.
