Ruminations on food, drink, travel, life and reason.
Almost done with an unusually compressed chore list today. Pilot batch for @marylandmalt stashed at @TrueRespite to overcome my lack of cold storage capacity. Supply run to @MdHomebrew for brew day this week then next pilot batch kegged. Now editing this week’s podcast.
Took forever to get the beer flowing into this keg. First time I have tried dry hopping loose. If the flavor or aroma is better, I have some thoughts on how to improve next time.
Sometimes you need a shot of Fernet, unconditionally.
Sorry every other book in my to read pile, I promised this one would jump the queue.
Look at that lambent glow. Kolsch is conditioning nicely. Need to pull another pint or two, only to clear out the last of the trub of course.
Kegs are cleaned, sanitized and CO2 purged, ready for kegging day next weekend.
Cleaning and preparing kegs today. Next weekend I will keg my Munich Helles and my English IPA.
Brewing goals. Look at that lacing. Doesn’t hurt that @DenizensBrewing’s Southside is one of my very favorite beers.
Loving the latest from @brawlingbear, a reminder that some brewers still get pale ales and really make them shine.
I found the beer I co-brewed, I think, and am still looking for my collaborator at the @brookevillebeer 2nd anniversary.
