Im back.
Well Life seemed to get in the way and I forgot to update this blog with a few brews that I did. I did a Hazed and Infused all grain clone that turned out really good, and a all late addition hop ale that turned out really mediocre. Then for about the last 6 months I was just to busy to brew. I had bought grains to make an oktoberfest in april and those are still in my fridge. I did make a extract pale ale batch this weekend. Im going to be ordering some grains to make another all grain batch of something to be ready for new years.

Forlough Pale Ale - Mid November 2011
Well Ive been thinking about doing a pale ale or an IPA for a while now. Its not my favorite sytle, but I decide to come oup with somehting and just brew it. This is called Furlough Pale ale because I was furloghed at work around the holidays for a few weeks, which gave me time to brew this.
Briess 2-Row Brewer's Malt 8 lbs, 0 oz
Briess White Wheat 1 lbs, 0 oz
Crisp Crystal Malt 45L 1 lbs, 0 oz
Amarillo leaf 1 oz @ FWH
Cascade Pellets .5 oz @ 15 mins
Wyeast Labs American Ale
This turned out awesome. I keged most of it, and bottled 10 bottles. I was hoping to send this to a competition. I opened a few before I was going to send them, and there was no carbonation at all, so I didnt send them in.
A buddy and I finished most of the rest of this on new years eve. I will brew this again.

Vienna Lager - All Grain - October 2011
Well I finally got all my equipment together for doing all grain. I made a mash tun from a 5 gallon beverage cooler.
I decided to do a vienna lager after having a few of them recently at some resturants in the area. This probably wasnt the best choice for my first all grain, in that it takes a while to be ready, and Im not really very patient.
The recipe I decided to do was from the winner of the national homebrew competition for european lagers.
Weyermann Vienna - 4 lbs, 6.4 oz
Briess Pilsner - 3 lbs, 0 oz
Briess Organic Munich 10 - 2 lbs, 11.2 oz
Caramel Munich - 0 lbs, 4 oz
Weyermann De-Husked Carafa II - 0 lbs, 1.75 oz
Hallertau Pellets, German 1.25 oz @ 60 mins
Hallertau Pellets, German .5 oz @ 10 mins
Wyeast Labs Munich Lager
Mash at 152 for 90 minutes. Boil for 90 minutes. Cool and pitch at 45 degrees . Let the temp rise and ferment at 50 degrees.
