Another busy weekend

29 Saturday Sep 2012

It’s Saturday, I know all of you were anxiously awaiting an update about our Friday night brew session, but it didn’t happen. Sometimes life (and work) gets in the way of things. Seth is attending his sister’s wedding (congrats!) out of town, I am working pretty much all weekend (boo!) and Brian is working on his new house.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch! We’ll be back at it again next weekend brewing another all grain version of Seth’s honey brown recipe. Until then, we will bottle our wheat and watch the APA bubble away in the fermentation bucket!

Have a great weekend!

What time is it?

BREW TIME!!!!!

Well not really, it’s only 5:00. Brew time doesn’t start for another 4 hours, but still, as always we are just a little excited!

Tonight we brew our all grain version of Seth’s APA recipe. And on top of that, it’s a 10 gallon batch (our first btw)!

We are implementing some new equipment and new ideas into tonight’s brew session. Both of which should make thing turn out better and run more smoothly. Pumped about that as well!

So, wish us luck! Have a great weekend everybody!

(Not so) Honey Brown Ale…

Friday night we sampled our highly anticipated honey brown ale. It had great flavor. Great mouth feel. It was balanced with just the right amount of bitterness and a smooth after taste. It was everything you’d want a BROWN ale to be. BUT, we missed the mark with the honey flavor. There was a slight honey after taste, but not exactly what we were shooting for. Seth already has ideas to intensify the honey flavor for your enjoyment!

Oh well, we still consider this a victory. Another great beer under the belt!

Coming soon, HONEY Brown Ale #2!

It’s Brew Day!!!

It’s brew day!
It’s brew day!
It’s fin-a-ly here!

That’s a song I just wrote. You have to sing it or it doesn’t make sense.

It’s brew day! Tonight we are brewing our revamped recipe for our wheat beer, bottling our cider wit, and drinking our honey brown ale. Busy, but fun night ahead!

I’m sure we’ll have a review of the honey brown to follow.

Have a great weekend everybody!

There’s our honey brown patiently awaiting our lips and bellies!

Last night we finally got to try our American Pale Ale. If I had to use one word to describe it to you, it would be…

Thisbeerisbyfarthebestbeerevermadebyman!!!

It was crisp and light and refreshing. It was perfectly balanced. It has incredible flavor during and after. It really does leave the mouth watering for more!

I have to give Seth some major props for creating this beautiful recipe. Thank you Seth for my new favorite beer! I can’t wait to get home from work and crack one of these bad boys open!

Regular Guy American Pale Ale, the best beer you’ve never tasted…YET!
