Okay, it's harder than it looks to blog consistantly. But it's a new year so what the heck, let's try again.
So today is a two-fer: I have a Ringwood slurry and a Pilsner blend slurry. The pils blend is three yeasts, all pils strains. So in a hurry to get a recipe put together I did this: Dark Munich, Dark wheat, German pale ale, UK pale ale, cara munich III and chocolate rye. Also 5.82 pounds of light dry malt. Hopping for the lager is all Northern Brewer : 1 oz @ 60, 2 oz @ 30, 1 oz. @ 2. Got a bit more creative on the ale: pretty steady hopping with moderate amounts of: Centennial, Sorachi Ace, Cluster, Galena, Yakima Magnum and Willamette. All leftover hops so a good way to use 'em up. So eventually 10 gallons of homebrew: done the partial mash way. In spite of the different hop schedules and yeast, it'll be interesting to see how the same wort can be manipulated to give you two different beers.
Forecast is for more snow....I baked a loaf of bread and the windows are all steamed up. My family is home from parts far away and I'm looking forward to seeing some GOP ass getting kicked in 2008.
Life is good...
