Bottling N’ Stuff – Cream Stout

As much as I was hoping to make this my first kegged beer, I haven’t actually purchased any kegs and my keezer is currently in use as a freezer.  Since I was given a $25 Amazon gift card, I decided to make my life a little easier in bottling with one of those bottle trees.

I have some pictures of the brew day and was intending to write that blog post before this one, but there is a lot more that is going to go into that, so things will just have to be out of order.  Regardless of that, first taste of this will likely be on 11/21. And I’m really looking forward to it.

Cheers!
