Well, take a couple weeks off from brewing and look how time flies! Can't believe it's already two months into 2011.
Exciting times are ahead for the Beer Lab, including a new basement storage setup and a kegerator project. But most importantly, production has resumed after a short holiday following the pre-Christmas brewing rush.
Bubbling in the basement is the first beer of the season, a black IPA largely based off of a Brew Your Own recipe.

It's an exciting start to the second year of beermaking here. Just about every black IPA I've tried has been fantastic, and I fully expect a homebrew version to outdo all of them. Even have a quick label worked up:

Still up for debate, though, is where things go from here. I know I want to try a few ciders -- already pulling together the ingredients for those -- and I plan to create something special for a get-together with some college friends later this year. But you, gentle readers, can have a voice too. What should the Lab try its hand at? Don't be shy -- toss something in the comments!
