Batch 8 - Simple Cider

Similar to Batch 1, but using real brewing equipment. Used a 3 gallon carboy and an ale yeast. Also added about a pound of honey.

Bottled: 12/12/04.

Status: Doesn't smell as sweet as my first batch. I believe I didn't ferment the first batch long enough. This batch turned out to be quite popular. As of 1/31 I'm down to one bottle.

Batch 7 - Alaskan Amber

I tried an Alaskan Amber clone based on this recipe. Brewed 11/14/04

Status: Bottled 12/12/04. Looks dark and, um, amber.
