Kegging the Special Espresso Pumpkin Spice Brew!

We let this batch sit for a week before re-racking it. Then we re-racked a few more times, trying to carefully strain it each time to get rid of as much sediment as we could.

Smelled, looked and tasted great! All it needed was carbonation! And so we kegged our first brew!


We let it carbonate for about a day - probably would have been better if we did this longer.. But we were too excited! We invited over several of our beer aficionado friends and encouraged them to bring something they made or something they have wanted to try. We had lots of unique beers and ciders and of course tasty treats!
We decided to bottle some as well so that we could enter the Homebrew Competition at the Oregon Garden Brewfest being held April 27th & 28th. Oregon Garden Brewfest Info

Judging is on the 28th. We opened one of the extra bottles to see how it was..it was fantastic!! Steve entered in our Apricot Hard Cider too. We will let you know how we do!
