Brew Update

Aahhh.... Copper Snail. One of my favorite recipes.
Sunday I brewed a batch of beer I dubbed "Copper Snail". It is a pale ale, from a slight variation of a "Snail Trail Pale Ale" recipe I found on Cat's Meow a few years ago. Differences are unimportant, I would have to go and find the original recipe, but suffice it to say this is one of the best homebrew recipes I have made, and it has pleased many a patron of Dave's Bar & Garage.
So I brewed it sunday, it has been percing quite nicely in the primary fermentor since monday. It should be ready to sample about St. Paddy's day, unless I once again get impatient.
Anyway, here is the recipe if you care:
