Two weeks ago, we brewed a Cream Ale, a beer that appeals both to folks who enjoy craft beers and those who favor mass-produced American-style lagers. It is flavorful, made with organic pilsner malt and hallertauer hops and designed to be light and crisp. Tonight, I transfered it to our bright tank - a glass carboy, where it will age briefly and probably be ready to bottle in about a week.
After transfering the beer, I harvested and "washed" the yeast (a highly attenuating american variety called California Ale), and will store it to be reused for four more batches.
Also, the Red Ale bottled a very weeks ago is really delicious - very malty, with just enough hop bitterness to balance. Definitely worth brewing again!
