Just realized after my last post that I hit double digits for brews! Thats gotta be a milestone worth noting. First brew was May 1st, number 10 was October 30th, 6 months 10 brews of about 5 gallons each, thats 50 gallons. Hmmmmm one would think to make things come out even it should have been 60 gallons, 10 gallons a month sounds right.
Must step up production and make that goal!

Three more beers and a stuck sparge!
Made an American Brown with flavor/aroma hops from a friends yard, shes not sure what kind they are but the beer is good! Kegged it on Oct 21st.
Father in law was up from GA. and wanted to brew so we made JB's Special Wheat on Oct 5th, bottled it on Oct 30th. Hope to drink it with him when we meet in TN. later this month.
Then disaster stuck! On Oct 30th I tried an all grain American lager. Used 2 lbs. of flaked corn in the mash and could not get it to drain! Took FOR! EV! ER! Sparged as well as I could but it ended up quite light. Had an OG of 1.040, shooting for a 1.050, oh well, it should still taste better than what you can buy in a can right? I'll let you know in a few months.
