My India Pale Ale

What's awesome? This:


This beautiful mess is the wort for our homebrewed India Pale Ale.


One of two types of hops we added.


Danny (a future brother-in-law) measuring the starting gravity of our newborn IPA.

The best pale ale I ever had was a homebrew. It was a good beer in terms of initial taste but what made it great was that it finished without the usual lingering bitterness. Every sip was like the first sip. I can only hope our IPA turns out half as good - I'll let you know in a couple weeks.
