Can she do it?

Sadly, sometimes life gets in the way of brewing. So, make it into a challenge. Today, a single decoction Maibock, into work by 11 a.m. Can she do it? Yes, I can. My old Maibock recipe: pilsner, Vienna, cara-hell, white wheat and a bit o'honey malt. Mmmmmmmm. Hella bock slurry and Hallertau tradition hops. Love it. So the solution: mash, decoct and sparge before work. Come home and boil and pitch. It's 5:30 and I'll be done in about a half hour. Oh yeah, take out pizza is helpful. But I do have a pan of brownies in the oven so that's all good.

American rye: very clear, maybe a little too hopped for the style, but good for me.
