It’s a great weekend to brew. It’s starting to get cool out and it’s a long weekend.

Yesterday we went thru the hop stocks we have in the garage. It’s time to use them up before the equipment move back downstairs for the winter.

We have quite a bit so Sounds like a strong ale to me.

• 12 lbs Maris Otter
• 1 lb crystal 60
• 1oz pilgrim hops @60
• 1/2oz citra @15
• 2oz cascade @15
• 1/2oz citra @ flameout
• 2oz cascade @ flameout
• Nottingham yeast. Mashed at 151 2 hour boil

Next up a mead. 2nd mead in a month. With maybe one more coming along.

So this one is ginger lime.

Mixed and stirred everything up with enough water to get 1 1/2 gallons of must and a 1/2 tsp of nutrient.

Oh.. forgot yeast for this guy. But luckily we brewed the strong ale yesterday, so I grabbed about a cup off the top. Should work great since the OG is 1.082.

Put everything into the party pig and it’s ready to rip!
