Morning everyone!
It's been a busy couple of months with the holidays and brewing projects, so I thought I would give you a little update to what we've been up to.
Well, between holidays, hooplas and Christmas parties, we have managed to fit in a few brewing sessions. We have brewed and bottled another batch of smoked brown ale, our first all-grain porter, an Oktoberfest and now have a milk stout in the primary. We have, also, bottled a batch of Elderberry wine that has been sitting on french oak chips (medium toast) for 6 weeks. The flavor is amazing. Reminds of a very good Chianti with the Elderberry lending its own twist. Now the trick will be getting it to last long enough to get some of it aged.
This weekend will be another brewing session for us with our best friends as we ring in the new year. We have come up with a recipe we call Rhumb Line Porter. This batch is being donated to our local brewing club for a benefit. Tastings will open to the public and all proceeds are being donated to a local charity. So we win both ways. We get to brew beer, share time with friends and taste beer at the event. What more could we ask for?
So until the next post, we wish everyone out there a Happy, Healthy New Year!
