No Idea What Is Going On.....

Yesterday bubbles in airlock had greatly minimized and this morning non-existent, so decided to check the gravity.

Opened the lid and a great deal of foamy stuff high up the walls of the bucket, so it appears that yeast was doing its thing...

However, the gravity only read 1.020 --- if an accurate measurement (and I'm not certain it was) this would put it at around 2% ABV ---- apparently going for a "near beer" brown ale.

Will try again tomorrow and in an attempt to figure out what the hell is going on.

On the bright side, had a good flavor so maybe there's hope.

In other news, ordered ingredients for next batch, which will be a "partial mash" Strong Belgian Dark Ale - which I'm going to flavor with winter seasoning to make a holiday brew.

And lastly, because it seems like everybody on the brewing forums names their "brewery," and Rachael believes making the labels will be a creative adventure for her...we proudly introduce --- Coonhound Cellars Brewing Co. An image for an early logo:
