Happy Holidays from Frostbite Brewing

Happy Holidays from Frostbite Brewing Company! I have much to update since the last posting on the Scottish Ale. The Scottish Ale has finished fermentation and was bottled on December 20. On that day I also brewed a Brown Ale that was brewed with brown sugar. I also need to update on a California Common Hybrid that was brewed on December 27. I will post updates on both beers at a later date.

A special thank you to those of you that gave me gift cards to Midwest Supplies (aka "the beer store") or money to go towards the brewery. I have already purchased a stir plate, 6.5 gallon glass carboy, hydrometer, digital scale and a digital thermometer to upgrade or replace brewing equipment. The stir plate will greatly assist in preparing the proper amount of yeast for fermentation. The 6.5 gallon glass carboy will allow me to do primary fermentation in a glass container instead of a plastic bucket so I can watch the entire fermentation process. The digital scale and thermometer will allow me to take more accurate measurements and replace broken equipment.

I hope those of you that received a 2009 Holiday Six Pack enjoy the beer. I would appreciate if you send me your thoughts and comments on the beer. Thank you to those of you that clean the bottles and return them to me as well. Take care and drink responsibly!
