Fermenting away, I come home to the sounds of a bubbling brew. Hope to rack into secondary on Friday

Force carbonated today. Can't wait till Sunday to try this one, guess I'll have to rename this one Cardinal Sins or Steeler 6 after the game.
Time to rename the brew

Time to rename the brew. "Steeler 6x Ale" Really nice flavor of sweet malt up front, quickly pushed aside as the hops come rushing thru for a thunderous "SACK". This is a real keeper.
