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.

Hot Blonde transferring into keg number one.

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…

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!

There’s just no such thing as a new idea…

This morning, as is the case with every morning, I started my day off by taking the dog for a walk. It was a brisk morning, but what else would you expect for the end of December.

The sun had not quite fully risen, and the air was quiet…almost eerily so. It was the kind of quiet that only exists this time of year. There were no birds chirping. The wind was still. There were no kids on corners waiting for the school bus. It was just dead silent.

Maybe it was the silence, or maybe it was the captivity of anxiously awaiting Lucy to do her business, but I found my mind spinning with ideas. Continue reading →
