Still Brewing

Haven't done too much with brewing lately, but it's time again.

About a month ago I made 5 Gallons of Belgian Wit, which I would have been drinking now, except I ran out of CO2 and didn't rush to get my tank filled. Also the 10 G batch of Barleywine/IIPA I made out of a ton of left-over hops and random things like molasses and brown sugar. I dry-hopped half, and the other half spent three weeks on oak chips. It's kegged now, and it's time to get it on the gas.

Tomorrow, I'll be making up something ESBish. Another off the cuff recipe where I have a vision in my mind of a malty beer and just did some reading on various malts to see what flavors they would impart. This beer will also feature a pound of grain that I toasted in the oven as well.

Hopefully the finished product meets my expectation.

With fall coming up, my tastes are starting to lean toward malty darker beers and I'm not as interested in the lighter summer styles.

Beer is a seasonal thing.
