My first brew session of 2013 didn’t flow like I planned. I was going to brew an Amber Ale and a Belgian Golden Strong Ale. I only had enough time for the Amber Ale and thought better against trying to force the Belgian. I have put the Belgian off until Feb 9th so in the meantime I have decided to brew a Bourbon Barrel Porter and a Spotted Cow Clone. Got the starters going this evening. I am using two older yeast packs so I am starting them early to get them stepped up to the right pitch amount.
