Batch 006: “Papa Beer” Honey Amber Ale

Batch 006 was the first batch I brewed with my dad Harold, also his first time brewing. We brewed it on a very cold Christmas Eve in Gilbert. I believe it was -8 at brew time. It took longer to get’r boiling but the chill time on the finished wort took like 4 min (usually takes 10-15min). We racked it and pitched the yeast around 11:30pm, just in time to get in bed before Santa arrived.
