Friday night the Regular Guys got together to brew our Hot Blonde Jalapeño Blonde Ale. This one was a special brew, because the entire five gallons is being entered into a friendly competition. That’s right, we won’t get to enjoy the fruits of our labor this time around. The enjoyment we’ll get is seeing 200 tasters try our beer in one afternoon! Pretty cool right?!? We think so. Ready for some pictures? Let’s do this!

The jalapeños are looking all sexy like!

One of the hop varieties we used came from our friend Bobby at Music City Brew Supply. Thanks Bobby!

It’s hard to beat the smell of a big ol bag of freshly crushed grains.

Dough in!

The first runnings.

Just about to boil!

Holy hot break Batman!

This also happened during our session, Alpha Brewing Company, you complete me!

The jalapeños taking a dip in the wort jacuzzi. They look so relaxed!

The boil is complete and the chilled wort is filling the fermentation bucket.

So there you have it, another successful brew. Our efficiency was at 84% and we hit all of our numbers. Another plus, we finished in record time! All in all, it was a great night!

Until next time…

How was brewing? I don’t know, I was sick.

The Friday night brew session went on as planned, but without me. I was torn between brewing and getting some much needed rest. After working three afternoons with a fever and a hell of a sinus infection, brewing lost the battle. I tucked my tail, hung my head, and found my bed. I am feeling better, thanks for asking.

From what I heard, the heffe was brewed without any issues and everything turned out great! If you want the details, you’ll have to ask Brian or Seth.

I’ll be back in action this Friday and we’ll keep you posted on how the KEGGING goes!

It’s brew/bottle/drink day!

I want to take a minute to talk about Friday the 13th, the movie not the actual day itself, and not the series, just the first one, for now anyway. The original film was released May 9, 1980. It was directed by Sean S. Cunningham and “starred” Kevin Bacon.

Last Friday we brewed another batch of our Pale Ale. This recipe was tweaked a little based off our impression of our last two batches and some taste changes we wanted to make. With a hops change and a new grain addition, we are hoping we found the combo we are looking for.

Now to get technical, as far as the hands on brewing stuff, that is. Friday night was a huge night for us as brewers. All of our numbers matched up, our temperatures were constant, our mash and brewhouse efficiencies were were the highest we’ve ever seen them. Seth’s ingenious plumbing set up worked beautifully, we didn’t spill a drop! And it was the fastest we’ve ever brewed beer. All in all it was an awesome night! I’m extremely proud of Seth and Brian for all of the hard work, planning, and creativity that’s gone into our beer so far. I definitely feel like we are on the right track and I can’t wait to sample the fruits of our labor.

This Friday we bottle our latest wheat concoction, wish us luck!

Until next time!
