On the fire

Got to have some outdoor fun brewing last night. The Rackers were invited to do a brew at Heritage Hill’s Hops@theHill event.

Me, Max and Dan had two brews going. A rather historical brew over an open fire,, and a modern propane home brew set up.

We had tons of interest in both versions of the brewing. 
Certainly would do this again if they were to ask.

The Beet Saga

The beet Saison was released this past Friday at Copper State Brewing. 


For this Wort challenge, Copper State made a huge batch of wort, then the local homebrewers were each given enough to make a 5 gallon batch. We could do anything or add anything to the wort to make our beer, Then 4 weeks later the local pro brewers picked the best of the bunch. The winning recipe was to be made and served at Copper State Brewing

My beet Saison was picked as the winner!
I got to go to Copper State and brew it on their system a few weeks ago.  It was fun to get to brew something on a bigger scale, and work on pro equipment.

I had not had a chance to get down there and check on it before it was released, so I was just as surprised at how it turned out as everyone else.

It was just as good as the first small batch! If you can get down there, let me know what you think of it…. Cheers!
