Comments:
Again, an awesome beer!


10 Dec 2005: the first keg has been gone for a while, the second keg is still waiting to be tapped. I like this double batch process, it means I have several varieties at once.


20 Dec 2005: tapped the second keg, Batch 24 finally ran out so I had an available tap.


27 Jan 2006: finally finished off the second keg. This was such an excellent beer, my next batch will be another one of these.
