Suds & guns

Brewsky

Sebastian is not only a fellow gun nut, but a fellow homebrewer too.

Fantastic!

Now if I could only get off my lazy ass and actually brew something.

Yep. Currently have an IPA and an oatmeal stout on tap. The stout was a an extract, but the IPA was all-grain. I haven't brewed anything since April. I keep meaning to do a lager, but it always seems I'm using my beer fridge for something else. I need to get rid of my current brews and make some room.

Been years since I did much brewing; used to make a dark ale that was interesting. I also made a passable spumante.

All my brewing gear is still in West Virginia. Let me know, though, if you wanna get together and brew sometime. My buddy back in WV just finished an IPA as well. I was hoping he'd ship me down a few bottles.

Gonna brew a Common next. I may or may not add blueberries although I'm the kind of guy who loves to do things like that.

My last batch turned out so horrible that I've not attempted to brew in a while because, well, I spent a lot of dough on the batch only to have it turn out like crap (extracted tannins somehow. Bitter, like drinking rubbing alcohol). Time never healed it.

But it's time to pull myself back up and head into the ring yet again.

Let me see when I'm going to have some time and I'll let you know Greg. We can get together and hit the range afterwards (I never drink while brewing. Bad mojo).

Hmm... See maybe that's why your batch turned out poorly. I always drink while brewing (usually the last batch of homebrew.) It helps you relax... which is a key technique in brewing quality barley juice. Of course, I've also gotten a little too loose while brewing, and royally screwed up a batch or two...

I wish I had my gear down here. The thing is, my brewing buddy and I pretty much built everything, each investing equally in it, so I couldn't take "my" stuff without screwing up his setup. I might just have to start rebuilding. We were set up to brew 10-15 gallon all-grain batches and keg 'em.
