Batches 19 and 20

You may have noticed that my batch number has decreased on the right.
(You dind't notice - you don't love me.)
Well, I took out all the experimental small batches and the cider and mead.
All Beer Now.
Anyway, I made #19 Centennium Falcon IPA, and #20 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone today.
Let's see how they turn out.

The Alderaan Alt is nice. Nice 'n bitter. Funny how it's a weird beer, then you remind yerself - it's a German pale ale, and yer like wow that's good.
Bane Stout's nice and kegged too. Been havin' that. It's a lil strong, but like I care. Went well with last night's flourless chocolate cake.
Then there's the Fingernail Ginger Ale. Man that stuff's gingery, but that's what we were going for. Next time, needs more body (more caramel) to balance it out, and maybe a secondary with fresh ginger?

Oh, and the numbered batches. Unless I get a large number of "no" votes soon, I'm gonna stick with the numbers prepended to the name. Even if it's something I've made before. (See #19 Centennium Falcon IPA above).
