What’s up? How’s it goin’? Got any plans for the weekend? We should hang out. Candle lit dinner? Maybe a movie? Sexy time by the fireplace?

Well we can’t because we’re busy this weekend.

Sorry I lead you on.

That’s right, the Regular Guys are back at it again. We’ve got our Hot Blonde Jalapeño Blonde Ale that needs to go into the keg for carbonation and our Extra Pale Ale needs to go into secondary and dry hopped. I’m sure we’ll take a little peek at the Smokey Grove Apple Smoked Porter which is fermenting at the moment.

Also, three new recipes coming up, we’re going to be brewing some really exciting beer! Stay tuned for that.

Busy weekend for us. Maybe we can hang out another time…we’ll call you…I promise.

Until next time…

It’s update time!!! (Sort of)

I can’t give a really good update, because I wasn’t actually at the brew session last night. I was stuck on afternoons all week and after seeing my wife for a total of 2 hours this week, I thought it was in my best interest to go home. So for a proper update, you’ll have to ask Brian or Seth.

But here’s what I’ve gathered.

Last night the better looking and more talented 2/3 of the Regular Guy team brewed a NEW beer. They brewed a traditional blonde with an unconventional kick. These wacky bastards added jalepeño. The first tastings were reported as, “slightly sweet with a nice kick.” Thank you Seth for the report. While I’m sad that I didn’t get to taste this spicy blonde concoction, I’m really looking forward to the finished product.

On a different note the more intelligent and slightly sexier 2/3 of the Regular Guy team also kegged our latest heffe. They didn’t sample it, but I was told it smelled amazing!

Thanks Brian and Seth, I can’t wait to taste the fruits of your labor!

It’s Update Time!

Last night we cracked open our second attempt at our wheat beer. While this was our second attempt, it was our first attempt at all grain brewing and Seth’s revamped recipe.

While it was leaps and bounds above our first wheat beer, it’s not quite there yet. First of all, it was WAY to effervescent. Actually, when Brian left last night he thanked me for having him over for soda! We ran out of corn sugar when bottling this batch and had to use table sugar instead, and apparently, too much. How do you fix this problem? You buy a big ass bag of corn sugar, problem solved! The flavor is right on, but a little on the weak side. We ran in to some speed bumps while brewing this batch, but have since ironed out the issues while brewing other batches. Give us a break! It was our first all grain!

The most important lesson learned, if you’re the guy pouring the grains into the mash tun, make sure more grains get into the tun than get onto the floor…my bad.

Anyway we are extremely confident that our next wheat will be right where we want it to be. Seth’s recipe is amazing (as always), Brian’s going to be all sexy (as always) and I’ve been practicing pouring things into other things.

Brewing resumes on October 26th!
