Give a cheer, give a cheer...
Ah, beer. Bill and I just did another batch today, this time a "British Mild," which according to the recipe is halfway between a brown ale and a bitter. We just found a great homebrew supply place run out of this guy's basement; he's a dot-com casualty pursuing the American dream, running his own business. So if you're in DC and you like to brew beer, check out Jay's Brewing Supplies.
Note to new brewers. Strain your beer after you boil. Somehow we missed that advice the last dozen or so batches we made, and we always wondered why the taste of hops was so strong in our beers. Turns out we've been letting it sit in the fermenter when we should have been straining it out. Oops! Maybe that brown recipe wasn't so bad after all...
