I decided that brewing on St. Patrick's Day made a lot of sense. So that's what I did today. This was my first spiced beer and it's a little heavier than maybe I should be making as it approaches spring and summer, but who cares.
I kind of did things in the wrong order when it came to putting the wort in the fermentor. So things got a little watered down and then with my attempts at fixing it, I hopefully didn't contaminate anything. All I know for now is that the OG I have for this can't be right but it is listed for posterity.
