UPDATE: America Brown Ale (HB#6) now in bottles

This is going to be a pretty pitiful post, but better than nothing. The day before I left for Massachusetts (3/28) I finally got around to bottling the American Brown Ale. It had been sitting in buckets for about 5 and half weeks, which is a week and half longer than intended. Because the beer was dry hopping in secondary for the extra 11-or-so days, the hop aromas are very strong, which I am very pleased with. However, the extra time in the fermenter also resulted in more of the sugars being eaten up by the yeast, so the final gravity was 1.006, which is about .012 points of what it should have been. This is not the end of the world, but it does mean that I will have a higher ABV than intended, and the beer will have less sweetness and a much lighter body, which may not be characteristic of the American Brown Ale style. For what it is worth, the un-carbonated sample tasted quite good so that is a good sign of things to come.
