Learning grains tonight.

Busy Busy Busy!

Updates!

So I have a Facebook page that came about oh a whim while brewing the Irish Stout. Already we have close to 30 likes and once we hit that, a random person is getting something special.

Recap:
Yesterday was a busy day at the Casa de Brewing.

We opened up the Wine to test the Gravity.

Gravity checks out OK so we Second rack it. This has gone from a purple grey color to this beautiful tan yellow color you see above.

From there my very understanding spouse politely asked for her kitchen back(read: honey get your crap out of my kitchen), and so bottling day was moved ahead by three days. Not really a big deal.

Just look at that beautiful color. This is the Imperial Blonde Ale that we added a pound of honey to. Creating :

"Dr. B's Honey Blonde Ale"!\



So yesterday was a very busy day for us at the house. I think we will start a Dunkle in a couple weeks. 

We have a Facebook Page

Come over and like us on Facebook.

Its been a few days, but we got the Blonde ale racked into the secondary.

Here we have our Blondey out of its Blown off 6 Gal Carboy and 1lb of Honey has been added to the mix. I wish you could have been there to smell this thing. It was awesome coming out of the Carboy. But it was the best thing I have smelled from any ale I have made to date. I can still smell it when I think about it.

Here we are going from the Pale Ale to the secondary 5gal Carboy. Simple enough description. Look at the color of that beer in the hose. A thing of beauty. I'm getting thirsty already.



This is the new Blow off that I am using for the remainder of this Ale. A 1 inch rubber/plastic tubing fits right into the top of my Carboy's nice and snug like. From there it goes right into the Croc-Pot filled with clean water and back into the storage area for another few weeks.

So far this Ale is looking like it will be a success even with the blow off in the first. Thank you to Darren Link for laughing at my misery but also helping me get things back on track.
