Well it’s about time! I cry a little bit harder every day I see the “Nada” under burbling…
And Denny, what the heck is going on?!? Maybe the AHA is working you guys a little too hard! :o
I’m brewing another club barrel project this weekend. We’ll be filling a French Oak Merlot barrel with a big stout. Hopefully some of that winey/oakiness comes through!
Nothing brewing this weekend. I will be bottling my first batch of “Mad Scientist Amber Ale” Monday Night. Eventually I’ll learn to have two going at once or as I’m bottling one work on another. I may need to buy stock in bottles though. Until I brew again, I will be working on improving my fermenter and getting a bigger brew pot.
I am going to smoke 150 pounds of malt this weekend.
I know, you’re all asking where am I going to get papers that big, but I get to help brew a collaboration beer at a friend’s brewery next weekend. I’ll post some pictures of my smoker in action.
I have Monday and Tuesday off and am Home Alone as well those days… so I’m going to brew SOMEthing. I have been thinking about brewing Hard & Hardy, the English barleywine from Brewing Classic Styles, to set aside for the Christmas season. But Denny’s Rye IPA came out so good I am tempted to brew it again…
You’ve got me really excited now! This is the first time I’ve made it. So . . based on your timeline, are you suggesting the beer won’t reach its zenith for a couple of years?
