Beer Brewing - Wingback Ale

I bought Tony brewing equipment for his birthday, and he's had a blast brewing his first batch, Wingback Ale.  We have now bottled the first batch (about a month after initially starting).  Once bottled, the beer is supposed to sit for about 2 weeks to fully carbonate, but we couldn't wait so we tried one after 6 days.  It tasted pretty good, but didn't have much carbonation. 

Here are some pictures of the process:

This was on day 1 - Boiling the wort

It "lives" in one of the guest bathrooms to keep the temperature more stable and to keep the cat out!


 
 Primary Fermentation - yuck!  The green stuff is supposed to be there...eww!

 Here we are siphoning it from the first carboy to the second for it's secondary fermentation.  The green stuff stays behind :)

 After a couple of weeks in the secondary fermenter, it's time to bottle!

And finally capping!
