Bottling Round 2!

Bottling the 2nd batch of "Ballistic Baltic."
Brix going into bottles is 8.1. This beer is driving me crazy. We must have messed up on the initial reading because this just doesn't make any sense. It still looks and smells totally normal. I guess we'll see :P Total bottle count: 31 22oz.


The first batch is really damn good. Figured we should taste it since it's going to be at Beer as Art in two weeks. It is way better than I (erin) was expecting. The honey is the only thing I would change (and luckily exactly what we changed on round 2). I'm really excited to see how the 2nd batch comes out.
For our record, out of the bottle brix: 10.1. It was 10.8 when it was bottled. Final abv of 5.7%.

Beer as Art is in less than two weeks!! eeeeeeee! Don't know if the second batch will be totally ready but c'est la vie! We'll see you on April 1!
