Sweet. Never knew there was a homebrew forum here. Ironically, I just bottled a Blonde like 5 minutes ago. We just started brewing in January, but have already brewed our 100th gallon. Haven’t had a bad batch yet! We have learned an astronomical amount from reading books, and watching videos on You-Tube. We usually hide a bottle or two so when we make a new batch of that type we can compare and contrast...and it is amazing how much better we have gotten over time from a little thing learned here or there. So far the styles we have made were Amber, Steam, Belgian Wit, Milk Stout, Blonde, Porter, Pale Ale, Schwarzbier (with ale yeast). All have been a big hit, but the Steam and the Blonde seem to be the most popular...though for the darker beer lovers the Milk Stout (a stout with a pound of non-fermentable lactose sugar) was a big rage. I wish it took less time to finish a batch. I now have two primaries, and two secondaries, and 120 one liter bottles, so with an average one month brew time, I have a new 5 gallon batch ready to drink every week.

Excellent! Sounds like you are having great success with your brewing. Are you brewing Extracts?
