It’s been almost 10 months since I brewed a beer. So now that I am starting back in, I wanted to make sure I have all of my equipment where it’s supposed to be.

I had a Brewers Best Red ale kit sitting here for a while, and figured I could brew that as a “test batch” and get the kinks knocked out.

It’s an extract kit with a bit of grain for flavor and color. You don’t really mash it, just kinda dangle it in your water while it’s heating like a tea bag

Was a quick brew and did it’s job. I now have everything set to get back to the all grain, and should be getting to work on those this week. I have quite a few batches to get on to.

But before those get done.. I have a batch of seltzer to do first. But this one may (or may not) have something else happening with it

Stay tuned
