Tasted great, once caleb figured out the kegging process

Caleb's "I gotta baby" Milk Stout
I hope you got this one Caleb, I don't know where the recipe is, but it smells great I bottled it today

American Wheat
Don't know if i wrote this down or not, 1st full boil, Ice bath does shit for a full boil batch, killed the yeast in the hott wort, repitched couple days later, american yeast in the bag, not bottled yet, went to secondary after 3 weeks or so

So there they are, that's the beer diary in a nutshell, of the brews I'd like to brew again are
-Nutbrown
-IPA
-Dry Stout
-Bock
-Milk Stout (haven't tried it yet, but it sure smells good)

Tried the Octoberfest today during secondary racking, tasted watery and light, smelled good though, also racked the Ginger Porter, forgot to taste but should be good.
