Haven't had time to do AG brewing much these days, so I decided to get an extract brew or two so that I could get something in the pipeline. I found a great coupon combined with a good sale, so I picked up the four new Mr. Beer craft extracts to play with. Of course, right after that I won a contest on their site and have apparently scored something like 14 extracts, 18 yeasts, 13 varieties of hops, 4 (or 6... not sure) fruits, 1 booster, 7 fermenters, and 112 bottles, so I guess I'll be extract brewing for a while now.
Here's what I have planned for this one, using up some ingredients I have lying about... I"m steeping the grains right now (haven't done a steep in about 2 years... old school...):
EDIT: Overfilled by a bit (me thinks the gallon container I used was bigger than a gallon), so the OG is a bit lower than anticipated. Adjusted below. RDWHAHB...
