easter ipa

With my first batch all bottled up, it was time to get started on another. Cracked a PCP in celebration and brewed up a batch of Octane IPA on saturday. After some consideration, I realized that with the dry-hopping, and quick primary fermentation time frame of the PCPs, that the batch was more along the lines of a black ale, so I renamed them to PBA (Preo's Black Ale). Still damb tasty, with a nice crisp finish.



After a full day of brewing, I chillaxed and watched the Butler game. We tried out the Empire Lounge in Louisville for dinner - good homestyle cooking.

Sunday we had easter brunch at hillside, I provided the gang with samples of the PBA and it was a hit. After brunch, we headed down to Monument for Gretchen's easter dinner, and played a bunch of Rock Band with Steph's niece & nephew. Got back to milo in time for the Red Sox / Wanks season opener. A great way to start the season - Steven Tyler, Neil Diamond, and a come from behind victory!
