Brewing and such

We brewed seven pound wheat this past sunday. This was our first experiment with fresh fruit. We put (you guessed it) seven pounds of peaches into the boil just as we removed it from heat, and let them soak in there as the wort cooled. Can't wait to see the results of this little experiment.

We also bottled Manhattan IPA, or MIPA. I thought that MIPA sounded like the name of a funny little japanese cartoon character.



We have some really exciting brew recipes to try in the next couple of weeks. Plus we'll soon be tasting our Brother in Law Brew and the Royal Mutt Imperial Stout. Most recent tasting is Hoppy Spring Honey Weizen, and it is delicious. It has a complex flavor. We have sampled The Dub Double Brown on a couple of different occasions but it hasn't been ready yet. We're hoping this weekend it will have aged just the right amount of time.

Happy brewing!
