I’ve got a mild I need to bottle, if I can make time. I’m going to Revolution Brewing’s grand opening party tomorrow night. They’ve been a brewpub for about 2 years and are kicking off their new production brewery with a bang – 16 of their beers and 16 guest taps, food and bands. Should be a great time.
Gonna make something “unique”… a Sweetwater IPA clone with rye and lager yeast - an India Pale Lager (IPL). I’ll dry hop heavily at the end of the ferment and throw a couple ounces of dry hops in a muslin sack into the keg to compensate for the lengthened ferment. Anyone else ever made an IPL? What’s your experience with it if so?
Local brew pub is doing an event at the end of June where the brewer gave out the recipe for an IPA and is asking people in our club to brew it and bring some in for a big group comparison. I’ll be making that this weekend.
Strictly a consumption based weekend here - I’m taking my son and his college buddy up to Northern WI for the weekend to fish. It looks like rain, so I hope I have enough homebrew to take with me! May have to pull a few more growlers…
