Today was a two brew day.

The Spaz Bock has been in the keg almost a week, and I been having some. It's good, but should be maltier, IMHO.
Antered the Spaz Bock and the Galactic Senator Doppelbock in the Bockfest Homebrew Competition (www.bockfest.com). Man, I think I could do this for a living. Chemistry, Cooking, Patience, Beer.
