The Homebrew Shuffle

So I finally got around to bottling my experimental batch of ESB. (Real ESB, not Grynch's fake ESB), and wanted to let the bottles condition indoors rather than in the garage where it's too cold for effective fermentation.

Of course that raises the question of lagering in the garage, but that is a sure way to create a warm front.

So I decided to re-arrange all of the on-hand stuff and inventoried a bit. I got 9 ESB's from the gallon, (plus the half of one that I drank this afternoon. It's good. Very hoppy. Full review to come when it's ready.) and I have 2 Novemberfests, 3 Fail Ales, and a half-dozen Gravitas's left, plus that first Belgian Hans got arrested with. I'm saving at least one Gravitas to have a black-and-tan with my ESB.

Considering what to do next, I think we might want to start planning for St. Patty's day soon and skip straight to those batches. We need to determine when a bunch of us will be available.
