Brew #3 is in bottles and ready...and American IPA
From the Brews Best Russian Stout kit…gravity was a bit low due toincorrect malt extraction…namely, I didn’t rinse out the LME cans, andlost, so it is actually a Irish stout now :)
And the label…I call it “Almost Irish Stout”:
My second brew, a birthday surprise, just a simple, close to authentic hefeweizen.
