Worked late.
Made a side trip after work that required I drive around a whole lot of construction.
Stopped at the grocery store.
Walked the dog.
Fed the dog.
Updated my blog about the side trip after work. :)
Fixed dinner.
Ate dinner.
Cleaned up the kitchen.
Pulled BB-III #1 out of the back of the primary refrigeration unit, grabbed one of my favorite pint glasses, and took a deep breath while I flipped open the lid.
"Ka-phwump!"
Okay, I probably should have expected a pretty powerful blast of pressure as the bottle lid was released. After all, this was the first recipe I had carbonated in Grolsch glass bottles, and they're not exactly designed to let stuff out accidentally. But when I cracked the seal and the lid was fairly forcefully shoved out of the way while all the gasses shot out, I was a little worried that I was moments away from having a beer gusher on my hands. So while I immediately moved to the sink with the bottle, I completely neglected to enjoy the wonderful beer/yeast aroma that had just filled my kitchen. Oh no, that won't happen again!
First pour (see photo). Well, it certainly looks good!
Tasting.... <takei> Oh My! </takei>
Fantastic! Wow. I mean..... Wow! If not for the absence of a waterfall just after pouring and a slightly "softer" aftertaste than the commercial product, I would not be able to tell you that I was not drinking a Guinness. And I've got TWO GALLONS!!!!
Good thing it's a work night. I'd hate to have to count my servings in "dog beers" this evening.
