04/07/10- Out in the garage having a few, its pretty cold out here again so I got me a Shiner Bock.
Normally bock aint my style. They always seem to have this taste that I just cant handle. I havent figured out what it is, but Shiner dont have it. Its pretty thin though. Needs a bit more body. As far as any thing else with this beer its hard to tell today. The fridge out here in the garage has everything at about 35 degrees so I cant smell or taste anything.
But I do have all my batches ke3gged or bottled. The Titletown open is in a couple weeks so I am kinda sorta getting things ready for it. I am hoping to enter a few of mine.
I’m thinking I’m gonna put Chipmunk brown in as an American brown. I made this last summer. I was originally intending to make somrthing else,, a stout I think and I left my grains sitting on the work bench in the garage while I went and did something or other and by the time I got back The chipmunks found the bag. So I had to go get more grains. But when I got there I left my recipe at home,, so I just grabbed stuff and came home with this. Its actually way different than what I intended but I like it.
The Summer wheat in as a Belgium wit. I am sorta worried about this one for a couple of reasons. First its my first wheat. Second, Its kegged and I have to bottle some beforehand. And I wanna get the carbonation right. Third, I might just drink all of it before that! This stuff is great.
I was going to enter the Crop circles cream ale but its just way too cloudy, and have a few floaters. But its really pretty good. Sooo,
I have to try and enter the oatmeal stout. But again I messed up and put them all in 22oz bottles. I’m gonna ask the club (Green bay Rackers) If its possible to transfer to 12 ozers. I really like this and this is the one that I was worried that didnt work.
Actually as I am stitting here drinking one, I have noticed that the freezing temp its at has kept the foam down. I may be able to do this.
