BEER!

This beer, this beer here: Caribou Slobber . We brewed this today and from all accounts it's supposed to be mind blowing. I can believe it if the smell and taste of the wort is to be an indicator. Sweet, caramel, and hops with just a touch of spiciness
.

Caribou slobber is supposed to be just as good as Moose Drool by Big Sky Brewing. This recipe takes 6 weeks to complete. 2 weeks in the primary, 2 weeks in the secondary, and then 2 weeks bottle conditioning.
It's going to be a loooooong wait. Not only did we have a lovely thick extract syrup, but we also put in a bag of dry malt extract which we had not yet had experience with.
Today we also had our first boilover.
:sigh: yes, we weren't paying attention. I'm going to be smelling burnt extract for WEEKS when I turn that burner on. Lesson learned. I'm sure every brewer must learn it.
Now comes, the wait.
