So I guess we'll have to dump the whole batch. Man, that hurts. 45 pints gone down the drain.

It has a pronounced crisp, malty character, with delicate hop bitterness and a pleasing floral aroma. Blessed with all of these thirst quenching attributes, this beer is sure to please! Best enjoyed with friends, barbecued ribs, jalapeno poppers and dry garlic jumbo prawns." When siphoning the beer from the carboy, about a litre and a half of beer, with loads of sediment, was left behind. After I bottled the rest of the beer, I poured this swamp water into a pot, added some regular granulated sugar instead of dextrose, and bottled it. I got 3 pints of it. Each bottle is marked XXX. I'm curious to see how those will turn out. The beer should be good to drink around July 4th. I now have another batch called "Honey Blond Ale" on the go. I'll bottle it in 20 days, and drink it in 35. In total, I'll have about 100 pints by the time August rolls around. I bottled 45 pints of red ale last night:
