Mmmm...beer

For the holidays, Linda and her parents got me a home brewing kit. I waited a whole week before brewing up my first batch (a red ale). After sitting in the fermenter for 11 days I bottled the beer this past weekend (why 11 days? Because I couldn't wait the two weeks like I probably should have). The bottled beer will now sit for another two weeks for "conditioning" (a.k.a carbonating). I wonder if I can hold out that long...

The question is who will sneak in first- me or you... I've had a rough day today, my money is on me sneaking one (hopefully, I leave you some)

Not sure you really want it at room temperature, so you're gonna have to first sneak some into the fridge for a few hours...
