Birthday Wit

I decided to make a Belgin Wit for Brooke's Birthday. I havent had much luck in the past with this style, but I thought I would give it another shot. My Black IPA is also being judged today. I am looking forward for the feedback in that beer. It turned out very well.

More pictures from brew day coming soon.

Cranberry Blonde


So we are on the second day of my brew log. I decided to bottle my Sour Bastard Cranberry Blonde.
One thing that I like about making my own beer is that I have the chance to create something from a bunch of grain. I have always loved creating things, but with making beer, I get to make something that brings people together. I cant wait to get to try my first fruit beer.

Black IPA Take 2

Kyle and I worked on a second round of Black IPA on Friday. I think that I am going to take his philosophy that I cannot drink until I get into the boil. Nevertheless, I somehow was able to get my highest efficiency since I switched to all grain.

I entered the Cascade Brewer's Cup and hopefully will be able to get some positive feedback on my entry. Next on schedule is to make a nice birthday beer for Brooke.
