Home-brewing with Ben

After many citizen requests, the White House recently released their Honey Ale and Honey Porter recipes. We went over to our friend Ben's house last weekend to help/watch him make a batch of the Honey Porter. We followed the recipe closely, except we used Australian honey, instead of honey from the White House bee hive. I forgot my camera, so please excuse the mobile phone pics...

Pouring in the grains

The beer is fermenting at Ben's house, and won't be ready until around Christmas. At first I thought to myself, "Christmas, great time for porter!" because, even after two years, my brain still initally thinks of Christmas as wintertime, instead of summer! Anyway, we're looking forward to tasting it -- I'm sure it will be great regardless of the season.

Here's the album with all the pics.
