I have decided that I will be shutting down shop from May to August every year. Its just to darn hot here during that time to get a good fermentation. With that being said, August is almost over. Let the 2011-2012 brewing season start.
Hefe news:
So i never did get to brew the hefe like I wanted to before summer hit to hard. I still have the ingredients to brew it and it may just be the first one I brew starting this season. I think it will still be a good drink for the next few months out here in the dessert.
Pumpkin Ale:
I feel the headless horseman is getting closer. Last year I didn't get a good start on this truly seasonal brew, and ended up disappointing a few party goers. This year I will be getting a good head start. I may end up starting this next weekend and then it will be ready for the spooky holiday that ends October.
The true beginning:
Racked the corner stone brew to the keg, not going to do bottles for the first run. The Marzen is almost ready to drink. However, can't drink it just yet, it's not Oktoberfest time yet. Those friends and family that enjoy a nice dark flavorful beer will be receiving an invite to the first ever Decatur St. Brewing tasting and poker party. It will be either the last weekend of September or the first weekend of October.
Keep your eyes peeled for news now that the warmer months are starting to come to a close.
