Staying in the red zone again, and trying a #sullivans Maltings Irish Ale
New to me, malty and slightly sweet, biscuit notes and a caramel closer. Light and refreshing.

Bottled the red ale tonight. 75 twelve ounce bottles, 3 pints, and half of a coffee mug.
I had repaired my bottle capper that has a sheared gear, put another handle 180 degrees so the sheared gear isn't on the capping stroke, works much better. No mods to the capper itself, 100% removable. It's about 100 years old.
I primed each bottle with 2.1 grams of dry table sugar.
7 days later, aka today... Wednesday, the Red ale is at 1.014, it's still bubbling very slowly and 1.012 would hit the estimated numbers so I'll check it over the next couple of days to see if it's moving.
Man, false Fall hitting hard with a high temp of 58F! Wild swings are us in MN. Need to find some heat…
#dragonsMilk Crimson Keep
Just divine - malty, caramel, cherry, with a boozy tart finish. Warming all over!
More yard work and time outside today, overcast and the wind is coming up - #hereBeDragons 🌬️ 🐉 💨
Take a break in the Crimson Keep, an excellent BA red ale from #dragonsMilk
Malty cherry lead, notes of toffee and oak, with a tart lasting finish. Refreshing!
A California Smithwick's. Nice red/amber color, faint malty nose, a beautiful dense cream-colored head, caramel malty taste (but not sweet) with just a hint of hop bitterness and modest carbonation, clean finish. Low alcohol. In other words, Smithwick's. $17/16oz-4-pack, but a minority-owned brewery and Made In America! 🇺🇲
Seeing red after another day packed with back to back to back context changes.
Find some focus in the Crimson Keep, Here Be Dragons!
#dragonsMilk has malty cherry flavors, caramel background and a tart finish. Barrel-aged too!
