Comments:  This batch was done as a "brew on premises" batch at The Brew Kettle (TBK) in Strongsville.  The original idea was to evaluate their bottling operation, since they take inexperienced folks and have them filled a carbonated alcohol-containing beverage into glass bottles without terrible foaming problems or an end product that is undercarbonated.  We hope to learn something about carbonated filling.

There is no data as there is no in-process testing of the batches at TBK.  We may do some testing of the finished product, though it will be already carbonated.  Per the recipe, ABV will be 4.5% and IBU = 33.








The Brew Crew was Jim, Charles, and Eric for the wort/primary on 11/26/12.  Damavandi was in Philly.

TBK allows for customer label generation.  As all of us brewing all recently left the same German company, we created this label:
