So here is the first glass of Gorilla Fist Ale that I brewed. This batch is a Golden Lager. Nothing special. But the next one is a Weizenbier. Should be good.

But Damn it is good. Plus I know where it came from. I'll keep you posted on the next batch soon. And Yes, I has the labels made up. Maybe I'll make some with the XI logo on them next for the Weizenbier.

I'll be sure to post a video of me cracking open the first bottle being poured into my frosted Idiot pint glass and let you know how it tastes. i think if it said hxtr it would be so much better. lol very cool label.... question... how will you filter the beer or will you? To get all that junk out after brewing. Actually you can filter it but it requires quite a bit of equipment. But usually you just ferment it in a primary fermenter until the krausen drops (the film of crud that builds up at the top during fermentation) then siphon it into a secondary fermenter (usually a glass carboy) then when it finishes fermenting you siphon it off again into a bottling bucket. By that time most of the stuff has fallen to the bottom. After you let it bottle condition for a couple week to carbonate, you chill it and then rest usually drops to the bottom of the bottle. So when you pour it out you just leave the last little bit in the bottom if you want it clear, or you can just drink it. I have 2 primary fermenters and 2 secondary fermenters. So I can have 4 different batches going at once. It is pretty amazing what you can do by changing a recipe a little bit. Mainly just changing yeast will completely change the profile of a beer. Check out www.beeradvocate.com find a local craft brew store and find some of the different styles of beer. That way you will know what the beer should taste like when you brew it. One of my favorites recently is wittekerke, which is a blond witbier. Very good summer brew. Also Samuel Smiths nut brown ale is probably my favorite of all time. Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide is something you should really try if you have never had a beer that you can taste 5 different things at once in a beer. It's incredible. And I like the label, I have no artistic talent at all so my wife makes mine, they turn out way cooler when she does them!
