Just racked the Sore Looser IPA this afternoon. So far the gravity reading is close to where it needs to be and the taste is coming along nicely. There doesn't appear to be any bacterial infection, so I went ahead and harvested the yeast from the fermentor too. I am going to head down to Home Depot and price out some insulation materials to construct a 2 carboy sized cooler box to help with fermentation. The summer months are almost here and I'll need a way to keep my brews at the right temperatures.
In other news, the Peanut Butter Porter turned out ok. After one week in the bottles you could tell that it still needed more time. Now I'm at week 2 in the bottles and it's now tasting the way I thought it would. I just hope it continues to improve.
Next up is the English Pale Ale. Should be a good brew for a mild to cool summer night by a bonfire.
