Hot Sauce Adventures

Hot sauces. Something that I've always wanted to take a stab at making. After much deliberation with my oldest nephew over a couple of Missoula MT microbrews, the decision was made to go forward with getting the equipment and trying our luck. I came across Midwest Brewing Supplies listing of a hot sauce kit a few months back and finally placed the order for it last week. 

The kit contains the following:

Winter's Honey Update

Tonight, I gave in to my inquisitiveness and pulled the airlock on the fermenter.

Winter's Honey Pale Ale

In a perfect world, I would have brewed this two days ago on the Winter Solistice.

That said, man does it feel good to be back to doing all grain brewing, even if I am taxing the hell out of my stove and doing the boil inside.  Got about 20 minutes left on the boil right now, there's going to be a big ol update tonight on the toys that I've made over the past few days and where I am going from here.

Good brews to ya!
