First Brew Since the New Blog

Well here it is... Our first brew since starting this blog! We decided to go a recipe kit from Northern Brewer and selected the Dead Ringer IPA extract kit which is a solid, true American IPA style beer. Here are some pictures from that brew...

New Home Brew Blog

Brand new way to keep updated on brewing times, events, details about each brew, etc.  Figured we could start by using a blog type setup up, making our posts about each brew session and then commenting within the post.  I'm going to try to figure out how to import the brewing calendar and maybe even Facebook chat.
