Back At It

I can’t believe it’s been this long since I have brewed any thing. So this weekend I brewed twice to make up for it. (Woulda been three if I got to the store)

Saturday I brewed up a stout. Initially it would have been the Fogger, but I changed it enough that its now a different beer I substituted chocolate rye for the chocolate malt, used EKG instead of cluster and used 05 instead o Windsor. That seemed like enough change to call it a new beer.

Started off crappy as my manifold came off inside the tun during sparge. I was able to use another bucket hold the mash and fix the manifold. After that everything went smooth.

This morning I brewed the Steam beer. This is the one that I brewed two years ago. The Zerg Rush Steamroller. I hated this beer at first, but I grew to liking it.
Sorta changed it up a little. 1/4 oz less in the 60 min addition. This should knock the bite down a little. I will throw that little bit in as dry hop later.

Still have the 3 gallon fermenter and the 2 gallon needing filling. Time for some mini batches.
