The best beer I've ever brewed was an oatmeal raisin cookie stout (8.1%). I also made a really great coffee stout, which I'm about to rebrew, since I'm out of it! I currently have bottled and ready to drink: a dry cider, an oak-aged imperial stout (16%), a dunkelweiss, and a light summer braggot (got to drink that one up before it really gets cold out!). I'm about to make the aforementioned coffee stout again, and a pumpkin ale.

I bottle everything in 12oz brown bottles (a few odd-shaped bottles, such as the St. Peter's Brewery bottles, just because they're cool). I work in a bar, so bottles are free, and it's not really that much work to wash them 12 at a time. I bottle them a case at a time, so it really doesn't take a lot of time. Then they're much easier to share with friends when they're bottled in the smaller bottles. I've thought about getting a Party Pig, though, so I could do half the batch in that, and bottle the rest.

My to-do brew list: a doppelbock, a barleywine, an IPA. Re-make my oatmeal raisin cookie stout.

Andrew.
