Wow it’s already Wednesday! This update was supposed to be posted on Monday. Where did the time go? Anyway, last Friday 2/3 of the Regular Guys got together to get some work done. Brian was out of town, but that didn’t stop me and Seth from breaking into Brian’s garage to dry hop our EPA and keg our Hot Blonde. We were like ninjas sneaking through the shadows and entering the garage unnoticed. Actually we know Brian’s code so it was pretty easy.

Ready for some pictures?

Our EPA had a VERY healthy fermentation!

Here’s the Simcoe and Columbus hops patiently awaiting the EPA. Last time we dry hopped with leaf hops which look way more impressive than the pellet. Oh well, they do the same thing.

The EPA being transferred on the hops.

The secondary is complete for the Hot Blonde Jalapeño Blonde Ale.

The Hot Blonde being filtered and transferred to keg number two.

Here’s a closer look at the filters.

Here’s the filtered Hot Blonde filling up keg number two.

Well, that’s my update from last Friday. This Friday we get to bottle the Hot Blonde and keg the EPA. I think we are also taking a field trip to one of our favorite micros!

More to come, until next time…
