So yeah, 5 gallon batch in the apartment is not necessarily the best idea. I'm basically going to write this one off as an experiment. If it turns out that'll be awesome, but if not I won't be too surprised. Basically if I could do something wrong with this batch it was done wrong. I forgot to vorlauf the first runnings, the hose slipped out onto the floor while I was siphoning it into the carboy, I broke my hydrometer (luckily Matt was home and I was able borrow his), et, cetera. And topping it off with tap water at the end just felt sorta wrong.... Eh, maybe it'll work out maybe no.
As for why it's called Bunny? Well, you try coming up with beer names all the time and see if you don't run out of ideas on occasion.
Oh. Um, yeah. This is supposed to be a blonde ale by the way. Summertime refreshment and all that.
