Bottled.

I've bottled my batch as of Saturday evening. Now comes the hard part. Waiting...

Ok, I did cheat yesterday and cracked a bottle open. A little raw (still on the sweet side from the bottling sugar), but the carbonation is coming in nicely and the beer tastes like it's shaping up to be a very good stout!

And this in spite of all of my little snafus during the brew process and a late transfer to secondary fermentation.

My next batch will be an IPA, although Greta warned me that the malt that 7 Bridges includes in their kit might be a bit on the caramelly side for the style. Knowing this, I might try dry-hopping during secondary fermentation.
