Monday Night recap: “3 Days Late” edition
Oops. It’s Friday. Better late than on the weekend, that’s my motto.
We brewed up some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on Monday. Which would have been fine, except we ended up boiling off over 20% of our initial volume. Which is far more than normal. What does this mean? We won’t end up with the 1.070 OG beer we were targeting, but a 1.078 OG beer. We shall see how it drinks!
Also, the weather. It rained for probably half of the time. Fortunately Joel brought a cute little rain slicker. I wish I had taken a picture. It was A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. One thing I did take a picture of was this:
This is a close-up of our fermentation chamber, which is currently cobbled together from 2 chest freezers, some duct tape, wood, and insulation. Methinks the “Energy Star” rating might now be a bit ambitious. Enjoy your weekend (like THAT’S possible). We’ll see you on the other side, basking in the glorious weekday sun.
Brewing is on! BYOB, suckaz.
Attention everyone,
Please be happy. Like this:
Why? Because we’re brewing tonight at Jeff’s house at 8pm. Unfortunately we don’t have any beer to serve, so it will be BYOB. Joel has requested that someone bring him more Bacardi Ice Cantaloupe. I’m not even sure that’s a real flavor… See you tonight! We’ll be brewing up some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale. Yummzz.
Recuperating…
As much as it pains us to put off brewing again, we’re going to have to. Turns out the GABF tapped us (me) out for the next few days.
There shall be no labor today
Rest up friends, and enjoy your last day wearing white pants. We will not be brewing tonight.
Brewing is OFF
No brewing on Monday to give us some much needed “business planning” time. Actually I don’t know why I put that in quotes. It will be literal business planning time. No quotes necessary.
Monday Night recap: “Workhorse” edition
This special edition of “Monday Night recap” is dedicated to Scott Williams, showing his best side in the above picture. Scott does the work of three Joels combined (which isn’t saying a ton), freeing up the rest of us to do things like drink beer and talk to newcomers. Thanks for hopping, cleaning, popping, and locking.
We brewed a roasty toasty IPA last night ? a little bit of an experiment, and a tweak on a toasty IPA that will be served in coming weeks. There was some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on tap, though it went super fast. Which we take as a good sign. We also sold some t-shirts. They’re selling out, folks, so bring a crisp $10 bill next time you come. We also accept other denominations of bills, checks, and trades for web developing services.
OH OBLIGATORY ARTSY SHOT BOO YA. Consider yourself cultured. You’re welcome.
Prime time for brew time
We’re brewing tonight at Jeff’s house. 8pm. Join us. Don’t make us beg.
