Brewed for the first time since my daughter was born

[Calypso]

I made the decision before she was born to brew the same Belgian dark strong (1.100 OG) each year for her birthday, and store enough bottles to try 18 years worth on her 18th birthday.

Last week was her 1st birthday, and a great reminder that I needed to get back to brewing! I had moved in the meantime and bought a propane burner, so it was my first go round with my new setup, but fortunately everything went smashingly! Forgot how fun it is, planning to brew again next week.

Not looking forward to bottling again though.

Sounds like fun. I may do something similar. Do you have a recipe?
