WE DRANK OUR BEER!

Yesterday was the day we had been anxiously awaiting. We put ONE of our beers in the frige and tasted a cold one---and it was great! We were so blown away that we had actually made beer that was fizzy and yummy. Then of course we put a few more beers in the frige to have with our excellent dinner.


It's never been so satisfying to have a beer, as when we made it ourselves. This beer has been like a child. See it taking it's first steps in the carboy:

It was hard work making sure we drank enough beer to have bottles for OUR beer:


It was fun putting the caps on the bottles:


Our friend Ricky came over to try it and he agreed that it was GOOD!


At my last herbalism class my teacher informed that the full moon coming up on September 26th will be the "Vine Moon", sacred to Dionysis, and a particulary auspicious time for making alcoholic beverages, especially those containing blackberries.

I don't know where to go to get a ton of blackberries, although I know they are around here somewhere, but nonetheless, beer is an alcoholic beverage, and WE WILL MAKE MORE BEER!
