Hey everyone! It's been awhile since you have heard from us but don't worry it has been for a great reason. We have been very hard at work behind the scenes and today we are happy to share with you all that Heath has decided to give it a go with the brewery. He has decided to team up with his good friend Alan from Buck Wild Brewing and form a new business called Problem Solved Brewing Company. This has been a long time in the making and we can't be happier for him. We want to thank you all for the continued support over the years and we can't wait for you to see what Heath and Alan have in store for you. Cheers and see you all in 2018!!!

Second dry hop was added this morning to the Sour Double IPA and it is smelling awesome. Tons of grapefruit and papaya in the nose followed by intense grapefruit and tartness in the taste with a subtle bitterness in the finish. This is a strange one for sure, might not be for everyone but we love it. Also the Banana Split stout will begin carbing this morning. Banana and chocolate goodness with subtle hints of strawberry, pineapple, vanilla and cherry. Another strange one but that is the fun part about homebrewing you get to experiment. Hope to see some of you this Thursday night at the event…cheers!!

Today we brew our first beer for the Springfield Museum's Culture and Cocktails event on Oct 6. We usually bring one beer that is dark and this year will be no different. This time we have concocted a "banana split" stout. Yep you read that right. A dark, chocolatey stout that is aged on some banana and the rest of the fixings for a banana split sundae. You won't be sure if you should drink it or grab a spoon. Save the date for Oct 6th to come try it at the event. Cheers!

We had an awesome time pouring some collaboration beers with Buck Wild Brewing tonight at Eli Cannon's Beerfest. We received a lot of great feed back on our two beers. One was a melon IPA brewed with various types of melons and the second was another IPA brewed and double dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. Both were hits! We find out Wednesday who won the competition. We will keep you posted. Cheers!

We decided to give the sours one more try after a failed attempt the first time. By now the vomit and garbage smell from the last attempt has subsided and it was time to give it the old college try once more. We decided to do a couple of test batches and we set out to brew a berlinerweisse and gose. We did a 50/50 wheat/pilsner grain bill and mashed and collected enough wort to be able to pull enough off to get a higher abv gose and leave the rest behind for a nice low above berliner. Once the wort was collected we dropped the pH of the wort to inhibit some of the nastier stuff from developing and threw in some uncrushed grains to try and harvest the lactobacillus off the grain. A heavy purging of the wort and head space with CO2 and we put the cover on the put and set up the controller to maintain about 110 F in the kettle for a day or 2. We checked the pH and noticed it was low enough to harvest the wort for the gose. We didn’t notice and foul smells emanating from the kettle so we were quite hoppy with our nice clean wort. After a nice boil to kill off the lacto we added some coriander and sea salt and put it into the fermenter. Once the remaining wort drops its pH a little more we will boil it and make our berlinerweisse. Now all we have to do is decide which fruit to add to each beer and all will be good. Not chalking this up to a win yet but we are in a better place than last time. Cheers!
