brew #020: centenniHELL pale ale
This was the first brew in the new apartment. New stove, new layout; lots of new challenges. Can’t call it a ‘calibration’ beer though because this sucker will be piny, hoppy and tasty. Plan is to keg 3 gallons of this to enjoy poolside at Adam’s who coincidentally helped me brew this baby.
