Coming up on Memorial day, so we I got a four day weekend coming up. We are totaly unprepared as usual. Gots almost no beer kegged. All I have is about 2 pints of the Cream Ale left. But the stout is ready to be kegged. I hopefully will be doing that tonight, after going to get a load of firewood for the weekend. Because its a stout means a couple good things. It wont have to be super carbed,, and I will prolly be the only one drinking it. I do have a bit of the Old Republic left, but saving that for our next Rackers meeting.

 

Seeing that I have that 4 day er, I better brew something. So Friday I am going to brew a beer that I havent brewed in quite a while, and even then it was an extract. Woot!zenbock. I bumped it up to a 5 gallon batch,, but will need to partial mash it because my mash tun is only a 5 gallon. I also changed the recipe a bit, because back then I had no idea what a bock beer was supposed to be like, so now I know and that recipe seems to be off just a bit.  The only dark grains were a bit of special B, so I added a bit more of chocolate malt to color it.

Still have to get going on more Crop Circles. Possibly Saturday. Need to get er up and going so its ready for the 4th. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Thats what on the ready. Will post the full recipe on the Friday brew day
