Back To Blogging

It has been way too long.  I haven't stopped brewing but just stopped blogging for a while.

Today, I had the chance to make something I have been trying to figure out for a while.  A decent gluten free beer.  I tried to mash in potato, rice, corn, and use some Belgian candy syrup. The OG was very low after this so I had to use multiple kinds of sugar to make it something worth drinking.  I hopped it with some Columbus and finished it with Saaz.  I am excited to see how this will turn out.  It is a nice color and smells great.

I have also been learning more about making yeast slants to preserve my yeast strains.  I have assembled my own little lab but I have not had the chance to use it yet.  I will keep you posted on that.

Right now, in the fermenter, I have a spicy Saison and on Tap, I have a Wheat PA.  The PA turned out wonderfully.  I will be using my blog more in the future and give updates on my brewing adventures.
