brewing

from here on out i will be posting all of my brewing related business in this blog.

yesterday annie, cameron, and myself finally met the neighbors (across the street) who would not stop shoving homebrews in our faces. they couldn't have been nicer. i opened a bottle of coffee stout for them although its only been in the bottle a week now. they seemed pleasantly surprised, as was i, but i know this brew will just get better the age.

i moved the pale ale i cooked up monday into a secondary for no reason really. i just wanted to try it. had a terrible time making and cooling it, but things are looking pretty solid. i will not being using a bucket as a fermentor ever again. the juniper comes out exactly the way i wanted it to, and i think the kaffir lime is a nice touch as well. hopefully bottling before i head down to lawrence/kansas city on thursday.

coming next is a summery wheat ale (think sam adams summer ale). should be brewing tomorrow, so join me in the evening if you are so inclined.

cheers!
