Batch 22 – DoppelBock

I’m really behind on updating my blog. I’m now on batch 26. The last 4 or 5 have been really good. I think I finally have worked all the details out of my system.

This one was my first lager. I did brew it over  6 months ago, but I just drank the last one and it reminded me to post it. actually my brother drank the last one. He said it was the best beer I’ve made so far and he would buy a six pack of it. A good comment for a home brewer to hear.
