Wanted to post a picture of this one before it's gone. A very tasty, refreshing, easy drinking beer. Perfect on a summer day. And my wife is very excited about all the yeast taking up room in the fridge...no, not really. Thanks again for this one.

If you are really worried about it, bring it back to a boil for a few minutes and kill of anything that got in there. Sorry about your phone, hope it keeps on working.
