Brewing!

Yesterday Amy and I did some brewing. I was surprised to find that it was only the second time I did any brewing this year - and the first time was beer for Pennsic. Very sad.

We started two beers, a Hefeweizen and an Irish Red Ale. I had bought the ingredients for these at the same time I did the beer for Pennsic, so I'm not too surprised that the yeast for both of them has failed to start (need to pick up replacements tonight or tomorrow).

Amy also started the third batch of Cranberry Honey mead. There isn't as much honey in this batch as in the first two, but we're going to be adding two quarts of cranberry juice to it after it settles down (the yeast is working just fine for this one)
