Brews you can use

I finally got around to cleaning my draft lines and taps after <mumble> months, probably over a year. I don’t know whether to be gratified by what came off/out of them, or horrified that I was drinking stuff that passed through, near, around — within the same zip code — as it. Shudder. The beer and cider tastes much better now, although that may be psychological.

I’ve got to get around to doing that more often.

While I was at it, I put the brown ale I brewed on 9/8 on tap. It was still warm and this time overcarbonated, but otherwise very drinkable. I think I’ll be enjoying this one tomorrow evening when it finally cools down. I also racked a stout that I brewed on 9/23.

And now I’m having a little toast. Some petrus oud bruin that’s been sitting in my fridg^H^H^H^H^Hcellar for a year or so. Quite good stuff.

I poured it, and sat down to write this post, when I noticed some of my spam alarms were going off at work. Bugger. Well, I guess I get to celebrate some beer progress with a bit of spam killing while I’m at it.
