Buzz Beer

I brewed another round of the hoppy summer beers. This one I am going to name "buzz brew." I also bottled the summit hops beer. I had a major mistake on that bottling session. I was half way through bottling when I realized I didn't prime with sugar. So, I went old school and put a table spoon of sugar in each bottle. It may be ok, may not, we will see. Here is the recipe for the buzz brew (perle hops).
