So I finally bottled the Wit that I made for Brooke's birthday. I was a bit nervous because I pulled the recipe out of my ass as well as the spices. I must say that I have very high hopes for this one. Upon my tasting in my final gravity testing, this brew will be perfect for the summer time. Now I must wait a few weeks so I can taste it fully carbonated.
Since I last posted, I have gotten the results from my competition. My highest score was a 30. I think that the bottles I submitted had some contamination. Oh well, live and learn.
I have also brewed a blonde ale and a pale ale with Armiretto and Cascade hops. The brew shop was saying that it will be a good combination of hops and I have been hearing it bubble for the past few days.
My second round of black IPA is now going to be called a dark ale due to way to many esthers and too fast fermintation. I also used the wrong yeast for the job. Irish Ale is not the choice for my tasty brew.
Tweak has been inspired to make a batch of brew soon. He is talking about making a coffee IPA and it will be coming soon.
About Me
- Clash - Head Brewer
- Beer is something that many people just buy at the store and do not think of anything other than the kind of beer that they want for the evening. Through college, I didn't even care about what kind of beer it was, as long as it was cheap. This all changed with my first batch of home brew. I find myself always wondering what a different hop or yeast will do to a beer and what will happen if I add an extra few ounces of a different grain. My appreciation for what a brewer does has grown and I now love to share my creations with as many people as possible.
