Short notice for a Homebrew Contest. Its five (5) weeks till drop off deadline. Thats not much time. I rarely even look at a fermenter at only five weeks. But there are a few styles that I have confidence in that I can push out in 5 weeks and still get MY stamp of approval.
Well its been quite a while since I have brewed an all grain, but I need to get the kegs filled. Had some ingredients in the fridge from the last beer I had planned, so we just needed a few things.
This Saison was a bit bigger when I wrote it up, but I think a nice, light easy drinking 4ish % is in order.
With a fairly low OG of 1.044 and this yeast, figured I’d mash just a bit higher this time. Anyway, thats it. I’m not adding anything to this.
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
