DC, Luke, and the first batch of home brewed beer!

So last weekend, we got a plane to meet up with my parents in Washington, DC. It was freezing in RI, but clear and certainly not snowing. As soon as we landed in Baltimore, the flakes started to fall and then by early afternoon there were at least 6-8 inches of snow covering the DC streets. While most times of the year it should be the opposite and we should have left snow to go to a place without any, but this time, no such luck!

We spent most of the time hanging out with my family and my cousin's place and hanging out with our friends in DC. We spent less than 36 hours in DC, but they were all fun! We hung out at Rocket Bar in Chinatown, where people had a strange obsession with Big Buck Hunter...

Back in RI the week has been pretty low key, with one exception. We opened our first batch of beer which had be sitting in bottles conditioning for about 2.5 weeks. The beer was a nice easy drinking Witbier! We also bottled our second batch, which will be an American IPA. Finally we put the 3rd batch in the barrel, "Cold Morning Maple Wheat Beer". This is the most exciting one so far. The rest of our Witbier and IPA will be enjoyed at Jeanne's birthday later this month!

I'll be heading over to India in 2 weeks and China in just over a month!
