Today Is a Good Day to Keg

I just finished kegging batches #56 and #57. The process is made a bit easier by the fact that I have a bucket of sanitizer pre-made and onhand at all times. Some notes:

Houblon Saison: musky, sweet saison-like aroma. A bit of funk in the flavor, along with an earthy and citrusy hop character. Bitterness is really damn high.

Centennial IPA: sweet malt character with a fruity, somewhat earthy hop aroma. Flavor is fruity, citrusy hops along with a lightly biscuity and sweetish malt backbone. Bitterness hits you at the end, but it's smooth.

All in all I am happy with how these beers are progressing. Once they are conditioned, they should be mighty fine. Also, I saved the yeast cake from Centennial IPA and plan on making another Wee Heavy in the next week or so. Should be fun!
