Back in the Swing

The brewing drought is over. The Centennial IPA is bottled and ready – see review in upcoming post. I also have the Red Eye Rye and the Commuter ESB bottled and should be ready soon, and Nut-O-Brown in the primary. I will review and post recipes for these when they are ready for consumption.

August will be a month of many brews, as I will be starting to brew the IBVP – Imperial Bourbon Vanilla Porter for the holidays. A grand total of 4 batches of this bad boy. I also want to get the Belgian Dubbel I have been itching to make done this month to try and take advantage of the warmer temps for fermenting. Time and weather will tell if I can get 5 brews started in one month, with only 3 fermenters.

Busy Spring = Brew Delay

Still here, just been too busy with spring things, kids, yard work, family gatherings – all leaves little time for brewing. Just around the corner I will be brewing again. In the meantime, I have been doing some recipe research and catching up on some Basic Brewing podcasts during my commute.

I do have my centennial IPA fermenting away and will be dry hopping next week. I ended up having to make this on a weekday evening due to rain-out on the one open weekend day I had planned to brew on. I am not too keen on brewing on a weekday evening – it takes the entire evening and with 3 kids – I can’t do it that often. So in the next couple of weeks I plan on getting a couple more brews going. Stay tuned.
