Cream Ale - Revealed

I brewed a Cream Ale on 1/24/10.  It was my first all-grain batch.  There was problems.  OG ~ 1.028 + .015 (in after-brew additions) = 1.043.  I bottled with 4.25 oz of cane sugar on 02/15/10.  The FG = 1.002 for an estimated ABV 5.37%.  I then cellared it for about a month.  Despite the hiccupps the beer is really smooth.  It goes good with food etc. This is how I will probably drink it.

Cheers.

Bottle Prep is Quite a Chore

Soon I hope to be done with delabeling bottles forever. I should be able to rotate beer in and out of the ones I have.  First I'll need to make sure to drink the beer at a pace that ensures optimal bottle rotation before brewing more.
