Thanks all of you for the hundreds of entries received in my "name that beer I brew while I wait for my grandson to be born" contest. The lucky winner is that sweet little prego gal on the left coast whom I love so dearly. The beer will be named "Hey Jude Celebration Rye". I racked it to the keg on Monday. It looked and smelled even better than a newborn baby. I didn't measure the final gravity yet, but the yeast ring on the side of the fermentation bucket leads me to believe that it had fantastic attenuation! Kind of like Jude's hair. It looked like it was just microns away from blowing through the airlock. I'm sure we're looking at a 6 percenter. Anyway, I'll tap into it on Friday and let you know my first impression. I've saved some of it back to put in special bottles with labels I've yet to create commemorating the lad's birth. Todd and I have much celebrating to do...
Until then...Cheers
