My Big Amber Red. I know Reds are not in right now, but I love this recipe. It's a great break from Hop Hand Grenades and Chocolate Coffee Loaves of bread in a glass :)

brewed 2 of my holiday beers. Honkin' Stout (extract) and my own Milk stout. No pics sorry it was in the yard at night. Brewed with a head lamp :)

when filling out a BJCP judge sign up, you can specify witch styles you prefer not to judge. for me that's sours

couple of cups in a 5 Gal, but the trap water wasn't very clean. I'm keeping it on lager to see, but my hopes are low

It is another Brewtiful day
