Liberty Pale Ale (batch 44) and bottling Framboise (batch 43)

Pale Ale and a Hefeweizen- Batch 29 and 30
Today had some friends over and we brewed two beers simultaneously. Been thinking about what to brew for a few days, knowing today was coming, and was having my normal difficulties of deciding. I knew I wanted a pale ale but didn’t care for the recipes I’ve seen, and I wanted to use my Liberty …
