I finished kegging Modest Imperfection, an English style strong ale. I aged this beer more than six months, the last two on oak and finished with dry hopping.

The best reward for a brewer’s hard work? Happy and healthy yeast bubbling away. Signs of a vigorous fermentation this morning. While puttering post-brew day I also threw some oak into my strong ale, which will age another couple of months and get dry hopped before kegging in April.
Full
Always glad to have all my fermenters full.
Jacket
3 kinds of hops for the jacket as a happy yeast starter looks on.
Color
Love the color on this batch.
Still have a few pours of the Burton Ale left on the other tap and a new beer going on tap soon.
