Ramping Up Lagers

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Ramping up my lagers with the addition of the chest freezer Steve and I split.  I have a Premium Lager planned, as well as a Baltic Porter that I’m doing with a lager yeast.

 Brats and Brews on March 28th at Steve’s house.  (That’s bratwursts.)

Anyways, I greened up a wheat for a party.  One of the most difficult things I’ve ever done…

Oh, now I remember what I was going to write about.  I’m building a keg washer.  I’ll keep you posted, but it only entails a submersible pump, tubing and ball lock fittings…  Should be fun.  Also, floated my barleywine, All-Cascade Pale Ale, and that green wheat.  Thank God that green demon is gone.  Ugh.  Hard to drink that stuff….

On a high note, “My Bastard” turned out better than I could have hoped for, and I’m doing a Stout Experiment:

 One recipe for Oatmeal Stout + 3 Tbsp. vanilla extract + 2 liberal shots of Gentleman Jack….  Thinking about adding 15 shots of espresso too….  We’ll see!
