I have been brewing more than I've been blogging. Since the last post, I've brewed an American Brown ale, a Rye Amber ale and a pre-prohibition pilsner. Yum...
The pre-pro is actually a bit of a tradition here. The basement is still in the 60's, not quite cold enough to lager. But if I'm careful I can ferment in the 50's by using either the garage or my deck.
Just got a ribbon for my last German pilsner from last spring, 40 points, not bad.
Time to start planning my holiday ale. Taking into account the crisis of hops prices/availability, I'm thinking it might be time to rediscover "session" ales from England. So I think I'll do a hearty Strong Dark Mild ale.
