Bottling The Homegrown Mild

Yesterday I bottled the Homegrown Mild. It was a pretty uneventful bottling experience, which as far as bottling goes is what I’d like to happen.

The final gravity weighed in at 1.011, which with my estimated original gravity would give this beer an approximate alcohol content of 4.3%, pretty much along the lines I was shooting for. Of course I drank some after bottling, it was actually quite tasty: nice light toasted bread crust with a hint of a chocolate dusting complemented by a bitter, but not aggressive, background. Can’t wait to try the real deal in two more weeks.
