How could I have done this?

I let an entire month go by without a new post?! I will have more later regarding my gardening efforts but for now.. what you see below is the dark brew going into the fermenter in March, from the very recipe that I posted in March. I bottled it a little over a week ago and I've enjoyed a few bottles of it the last few days..

It came out a little below my target ABV but it tastes really good. The color is still a dark root beer. I'll probably be brewing this again real soon.
