Old Monster and Rootbeer

Ian and I finally managed to do some more brewing on Sunday. It took a while because we hadn't done anything in a LONG time. We made a 'big' beer that is an American Barley Wine called 'Old Monster' It is supposed to age for 3-6 months, but will be best after 1-3 years. I don't know if I have the patience, but there's only one way to find out.

We also made some rootbeer. This is the first time that I've tried an sodas. It was REALLY easy, especially since I carbonated using my kegs. It was also really cheap in comparison. I needed extract, and 4lbs of sugar. Probably could have gotten by with 3-3.5 lbs.
