We brewed again this week! Yesterday, we started the Double Brown. New name is still pending. We also bottled what we thought was the Barack Obama Presidenti-ale. I mentioned before that we thought we may have mixed up the secondary containers, and what we labelled as Tongue Splitta might actually be BOP. Now we have even more reason to believe that we did mix them up, even though we remember putting them in the right place. One thing you can do with brewing is to add hops to the secondary fermentation, and this is called dry hopping. We did this with the tongue splitta, adding hops pellets to the secondary fermentation. When we bottled the beer yesterday, there was stuff floating on the top that looked like dry hop pellets. So it is possible that we dry hopped the wrong beer although at the time when we put the hops in, the presidenti-ale was probably still in primary fermentation. So now I am feeling like we have mis-labelled the beers but hopefully still followed the right instructions, except that the BOP was in secondary for a shorter time than we usually leave it.
if that all makes sense.
We had a blast as always.
