Brew day, bad beer, and the newspaper

Well we had a brew day a couple of weeks ago and this weekend I kegged the beer. I took a sample and its not good. I get a strong burnt after taste. Consider the rapidness of the boil over I had and the strength of the burners I kinda suspect I burnt something.

We also had a photographer show up and take some pictures for an article. We spent about 2 hours with the reporter and his wife a few days later at a local beer bar in Temecula. The article made the front page of the sunday edition. Kinda cool.

Did you notice burnt residue on the inside bottom of the kettle when you were done?

Or maybe it is your recipe. Too much black patent?

I don't know.... with a plastic cup in your hand, I'm inclined to disagree. :)

Plastic cups were to keep the neighbors from getting antsy. They are all filled with either Homebrew, Stone Ruination, or Stone Vertical Epic. :D

I brewed the B3 Amber Ale. We chose that to do a comparison. Last years president brewed the same kit in extract. I am going to start brewing a B3 Pale Ale kit to fine tune my process and equipment now. May brew sat if I can.

If you're using those king kooker jet engines you might want to throttle the output a bit............
