Been a little while since the last post but just have not had the time to brew...until today. Lindsay said I could do anything I wanted due to it being fathers day so I took her up on it. Brewed an imperial stout today which I am well aware is out of season but I'm planning to age it until the fall. I brewed 10 gallons so May wind up splitting the batch and putting some ancho peppers in one of the 5 galling batches. Haven't decided yet.
Lindsay's beer turned out great by the way. Loved the Mother's Day mosaic pale ale. Now we will get to see how the citra dry hopped half turned out.

Experimenting with beer photography. My camera is just a point and shoot so I had to play with the settings. Suggestions are welcomed.

Stone Imperial Russian Stout is so thick, rich and well, sinful, you might worry that you'll be doomed to the fiery pits just for thinking about a sip. Rest assured, however, that even though this seemingly pernicious brew is indeed as black as sin, we guarantee that no actual sin was committed in m...

Picked up a couple of exciting beers for Wednesday Beer night tonight! I found this Plum Noir from Southern Tier and Stone's 1st release of an Espresso version of their Imperial Russian Stout!
Very excited.

Brewed 10 gallons of the Mothers Day PA on 5/11/13 with the assistance of the special woman that it is for. We used about 60% pale ale malt and 40% white wheat. Inspiration coming from the blueberry wheat beers from the U.P. that seem to be overly abundant up there and the bertus brewery hoppy summer wheat, which just sounds fantastic. I dialed back the IBUs slightly to 37 though but will dry hop heavily to make it seem hoppier without the bitterness thus making it more drinkable. I hope it turns out well as I can't think of a more deserving person. So far the smells coming from the carboys are fantastic. We will be dry hopping 6 gallons with Mosiac (a new hop promising blueberry notes) and the other 6 gallons with a combination of citra and amarillo (very citrusy). This along with the 10 gallons of american amber ale that is currently dry hopping should make for a good summer of beer.
