 February 24 22 Feb 08 - Peterson AFB Homebrew FestivalWhat a great festival! 20+ homebrewers were sharing their brews. The band was rockin'. Curtis (the club manager) introduced 36 medal winners and 3 Best of Show! The Brew Brothers obtained their fair share of hardware too! Check out the winners in the "Event" list. And check out the pics in the pic viewer.
If you missed it, sorry... see you at the AF Academy Fest in the fall or next year at this one! January 27 Maple Nut Brown ExplosionOn Friday Corey and I brewed up a new recipe: Maple Nut Brown. Everything went great until I opted not to use a blow-off tube instead choosing an airlock on the bucket. Big mistake! Last night the lid blew clear off and sprayed beer everywhere. I cleaned up the mess but forgot to take pics. Bummer! I don't think the lid was off long enough for any cooties to get in, but I'll update the blog as things ferment out. The lesson here (as Axe so succinctly pointed out) is when pitching a yeast starter, ALWAYS USE A BLOW-OFF TUBE! Cheers! Bobby January 05 Brew Brothers South New Year's Kickoff (50% complete)Today Corey and Bobby completed part one of our 2008 kickoff brewing session...UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday so we have to wait until Monday for Corey's batch. We got a little conference call action going with AxeBrew to keep us entertained during the sparge, and in the end the Paddy's Pig Irish Red turned out great. OG was 1.060! (.050 predicted) Some brats and burgers, and some fantastic homebrew fueled the day. If only Pittsburgh had done so well... |
