As promised, we have an update ready for you guys, not only on the beer, but on the skiing case as well.  We'll start with an update on the case. 

Wow, public sentiment can be a brutal thing.  And the 60 year old who filed suit against an 8 year old for allegedly bumping into him on the ski slopes has certainly been introduced to the power of the internet.  This quote pretty much sums up what's happened since we last checked in on this case:

"The story began circulating on the internet, and Pfahler and his wife started receiving emails complaining about his legal action. A few emails became a lot, and grew into an electronic blizzard worthy of Colorado where the accident happened."  http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,2234332,00.html

Does this man deserve this level of harassment?  I'll let the readers be the judge, but one thing is for sure everyone involved in this case could certainly use a homebrew at this point.  So, without further ado...

The holiday ale has been bottled and conditioned for just over a week now.  Here are a few pictures to wet your whistle.

 

Just before bottling it's a good idea to let your beer know how you feel about it.

When bottling, first add your corn sugar solution to the bottling bucket and then add the beer using the hose to create a swirling motion to help mix it all together.

A young finished product.  More bottle conditioning will yield a better beer.

We're planning to let this batch bottle condition for a few more weeks before entering it in a local homebrew competition.  It will also be submitted to the annual national homebrew competition this spring.  Wish us luck!
