Three more beers and a stuck sparge!

Made an American Brown with flavor/aroma hops from a friends yard, shes not sure what kind they are but the beer is good! Kegged it on Oct 21st.

Father in law was up from GA. and wanted to brew so we made JB's Special Wheat on Oct 5th, bottled it on Oct 30th. Hope to drink it with him when we meet in TN. later this month.

Then disaster stuck! On Oct 30th I tried an all grain American lager. Used 2 lbs. of flaked corn in the mash and could not get it to drain! Took FOR! EV! ER! Sparged as well as I could but it ended up quite light. Had an OG of 1.040, shooting for a 1.050, oh well, it should still taste better than what you can buy in a can right? I'll let you know in a few months.
