Brew Update Week of 03/01/2010

And another week is upon us. We did our QA sample of Continental Harvest Ale 2:2 and I think Pete and I are in agreement that it came out fantastic. However, despite that high note, we were unable to bottle our porter over the weekend. Looks like it will set in the fermenter for a couple more days. It also looks like I've finally decided (again) on the recipe for the double IPA - as previously posted.

Primary Fermenter #1: Chili Smoked Porter 5:1; Brewed: 02/21, OG: 1.054, Target FG: 1.014, Current SG: 1.016 (as of 02/27), Estimated ABV: 5.21%, IBU: 38.

Primary Fermenter #2: Empty.

Secondary Fermenter #1: N/A

Secondary Fermenter #2: N/A

Being Enjoyed: Continental Harvest Ale 2:2, bottled 02/16. FG: 1.012, ABV: 5.3%.

On-deck: Founding Fathers Double IPA 6:1; Estimated OG: 1.090, FG: 1.020, ABV: 8.90%, IBU: 126. Will submit ingredient order hopefully this week and schedule the brew.

In-the-hole: Spring/Summer still up for debate.

Drawing Board: Spring/Summer style. Drafted a witbier recipe, but further discussion is forthcoming. Maybe a pils to deliver late spring?

Adios.

  1. Yo Pete... It's Matt here. Just had a sudden realization that I'm down to about 8 22oz and 6 12oz of my Summer Ale, four 12oz bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale clone and a few of my Belgian Reds (which I need to reformulate so I may not evwen drink those. I'm in a homebrew panic). Luckily I'm bottling a Cream Ale today and an IPA soon and have plans for my amber with some tweaks and a Rogue Shakespeare Stout clone (Complete with Rogue's "Pacman" Ale Yeast. What do you guys have brewing?
