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!

Friday night we brewed for the first time in what seemed like a lifetime. You see, our last three beers had some issues. We spent nearly a month brainstorming and having non-brewing meetings trying to figure out what the issues were and what we could do differently to solve these problems.
Our wheat was weak in the flavor department and WAY over carbonated.
Our APA, which is our pride and joy, had decent flavor, but was WAY under carbonated.
Our Honey Brown had a good brown ale flavor, but lacked the honey taste we are going for and was WAY under carbonated.
That being said, we brewed our third version of our wheat on Friday. We came together and knocked it out like professionals! Everything went smoothly and our mash efficiency was that of a veteran home brewer. I think we may have found our combination to brewing greatness!
After three disappointing batches in a row, this was a breath of fresh air and just what these Regular Guys needed! I know I walked away Friday night confident and excited to brew again.
We’ll keep you posted!

I always thought the black chick in that movie Clueless was way hotter than Alicia Silverstone.
Food for thought!

The Dude’s Annual Fall Camping Adventure Extravaganza or DAFCAE for short, was without a doubt the most fun I’ve had in a long time! Three regular guys roughing it in the wilderness with only a campfire and delicious beer to keep us warm!
The weekend was filled with a three course disc golf tournament, a bmx race, shooting guns, exploding things in the fire, excellent food, wonderful Regular Guy beers, and a camaraderie that only three brothers who aren’t actually brothers, but feel like brothers could share! Oh, and Freedom Mart.
No brewing this weekend, but we are having a boring business meeting about brewing beer. Probably gonna drink some beer. But don’t worry your little heads, we’ll be back at it asap!
Until next time!
