Beer Making, meet Joey.

Karen again.

We're a bit backlogged with photos. Joey really wanted me to post some photos of his beer making adventure. The beer's been ready to drink for the last few weeks and it's actually pretty good. It's a Strong Irish Red Ale. It has creamy bubbles, lovely red color, and tastes yummy.

This is Joey with the entire kit on Christmas day.


So in January we soaked the barley...


We boiled the wort....


And we tucked the carboy of fermenting beer in the closet with the space heater for about 2 months (the instructions said it would only take 2 WEEKS, but I guess it was still cold, even with the space heater..and the blankets).


We don't have any photos of the bottling, but rest assured, it's all in bottles now and it is tasted on the weekends and during basketball games!
