Here's a pic of my ENTIRE hop harvest for 2009. All 13 (ick!) cones from my Cascades plant, thrown into the whirlpool of the American Wheat Apple wood Smoked Fresh Hop Ale. 1.060 gravity, so no slouch in the abv department. Me and Jody switched it up and went FLY sparging this time, just for kicks, and the brew house efficiency went through the roof, apparently. Hmm.
And here's a shot of the beer yesterday, with the very first wisps of foam getting chucked out the top of the fermenter. Smells like smoke! Hmm...
In other news, the chickens have had their 13th week birthday today (Yaay! Still have five of 'em!) and are all doing just great.
