Beer from extract kit - Part 2

I did keg and bottle that beer.
Here are some pictures.

Label says "Canned". Sort of joke

Not really IPA, but pretty hoppy

Dark Ale

March 18 we gathered together again and did brew the Dark Ale.
I did mash on my regular schedule: 30 minutes for protein rest at 122F, 75 minutes at 152F and mash out for 15 minutes at 164F. OG was 1.047.
I'm gonna rack it coming Friday, just before the next brew.
The coming beer will be Dark Wheat Ale. Recipe is coming.
