Batch 002: “Summer Buzz” Honey Ale

For Batch 002 I wanted to make a beer that would go down smooth on a hot summer’s day. I toyed around with doing a blonde ale, but some blonde ale kits yield strong belgian yeast flavors and I didn’t want that for a summer beer. I eventually found a kit for “Honey Bee Ale” through Midwest Supplies and it had stellar reviews from folks. I brewed this batch on May 20, racked it into the secondary fermenter on May 28, and bottled it on June 7. The goal was to have Batch 002 ready on July 4. I taste tested it on June 21 with my dad, and it was ready after two weeks in the bottle.

I thought it turned out pretty good. It was my first true solo brew, didn’t have Tim to help out. I am excited to see what everyone thought of zee beeeer.

Please feedback!
