It looks like I’m actually brewing again, hooray! I’ve still got 15G of Belgian Pale Ale in fermenters sitting behind me that all needs to be kegged before I can use the fermenters for the saison.
11:05 – Mashed in a few minutes ago and just realized that I haven’t set a timer. 148°F, 5.2pH.
12:09 – [...]
I’ve got this Sunday set aside for brewing, but I still need to keg the beer from the Brueday we did the last weekend in March. I think Sunday’s going to be pretty busy with kegging 15G and brewing another 10, but it’ll be well worth it. I’m still not brewing my 2009 RIS [...]
This last weekend was really busy, mostly due to brewing related stuff. Patrick and Tyler from The Bruery sacrificed their Sunday to let a bunch of homebrewers run amok in the brewery and brew up about 8 barrels of wort. We all took the wort home with us to ferment on our own schedules. I’m [...]
Whoa! I took a gravity sample on the pale ale yesterday and boy does it smell awesome! It’s at 1.014 right now, it will probably drop a little bit more while I’m gone this week but I’m happy with it regardless.
I didn’t get to brew on the holiday in February like I had hoped. I did keg the MBL though. My study group decided to get together on the holiday to go over some case studies we were working on. The last few weeks I’ve been neck deep in case studies and projects and I’ve [...]
I mentioned earlier that my next batch would likely be a Russian Imperial Stout. The last two years I’ve brewed a RIS in either February or March to be ready for the next winter. I intend to keep that trend going, but right now I’m just not really feeling a RIS. I’ve got a recipe [...]
My first keg of belgian oatmeal stout kicked last week and I decided to swap in a fresh keg of the same brew right before I left for class last Saturday morning. I wanted to get it cold so I could bring a growler of it to a super bowl party on Sunday. As [...]
I just got back from judging the Batch 50 competition at The Bruery. As always Patrick and Rachel were great hosts, providing the judges with food and a bottle each of their Saison and Trade Winds Tripel. I snapped this photo of everyone hard at work right after our group finished judging.
My Belgian Oatmeal Stout [...]
Today I’m brewing Mo Betta Lite. I got off to a little later start than I wanted today, but that’s pretty typical for my brewdays.
The recipe I’m using today is here: Mo Betta Lite – 2009-01-19
11:40 – Mashed in at 148F, pH 5.4
13:10 – Added “mashout” water and began 1st runoff, also started heating batch [...]
