The first brew at the new house was back in May. It turned out to be a delightful porch pounder. Despite some issues with the decoction mash, it was a drinkable and very refreshing beer.
Merry Christmas, I got an amazing gift from my wife, a used ~3gal whiskey barrel from local distiller Heritage Distilling. In homage to one of my favorite local breweries I fired up a Fremont B-Bomb Clone. It is the largest and darkest grain bill to date. Coming in at a whopping 14% ABV that really pushed the US-05 yeast to the limit. About half of the 5gal batch ended up in the barrel.
This American IPA packs a whopping 11.5oz of fresh hops from my neighbor across the alley. It turned out much better than my first fresh hop beer and was supremely drinkable. Unfortunately, no pictures survived this brew day.
Pandemic has started and its time to find some normalcy, let's brew a maibock a german ale dreaming of spring. Since I don't have picks from brew day, here's a picture of kegging.
