Anglerman Ale ABV

You may have read the last post and realized that I'm calling my bock ale Anglerman Ale instead of Angerman as previously posted. Also when I read back on that previous post, I saw that I hadn't listed the O.G. Good thing I wrote it on the painter's tape that I affixed to the carboy. So it started at 1.059 and ended (well it might drop in secondary) at 1.022, giving it an alcohol by volume reading of approximately 5.1%. I use the following formula if anybody is interested:

ABV=76*(A2-B2)/(1.775-A2)*(B2/0.794)

where A2 is the O.G. reading, and B2 is the F.G. reading.

Angerman Ale

The Angerman (AmericanEnglishGerman) ale is fermenting quite nicely now. I bet it took off right after I racked it to the Superbowl Stout yeast cake. It looks like I will have 3 beers on tap for my Superbowl party--Angerman, Superbowl Stout, and my Tottenham Mild. YAY!

In hindsight, I could have called it Anglerman ale, and put a picture of a big fish or a dude fishing on the label. Maybe a dude just sitting in a boat drinking beer. I'll have to think about this.

Still still.

No activity on the bock ale this morning. You could say it's still still. I racked a carboy of Superbowl Stout to a secondary, and racked the bock ale on top of the stout yeast cake. I'm guessing it will be bubbling like crazy by the time I get home from work.

Speaking of the bock ale, I have yet to name it. Bock ale sounds lame, and it's not even really true. Any suggestions? It's the third runnings of my bock mash fortified with some light dry malt extract, lightly bittered with columbus, and now fermenting on Wyeast London Ale 1968. German malt, American hops, English yeast--worldwide ale? Nah, not really worldwide. Traveler ale--nah, it didn't travel anywhere, the ingredients did. I've got it, Angerman Ale.
