It's been an incredibly busy summer! So many projects I've actually been too busy to document them! So with two months of no blog posts the first will be a somewhat mundane one (at least for this blog)- brewing beer.
I have a bunch of malt and hops left so I decided a malty IPA was in order. For a ten gallon batch I started with a couple pounds of Caripils and Biscuit specialty grains. Then about 7 or 8 pitcherfulls (about 12-14 pounds) of dried malt extract. For boiling hops it was 6 ounces of cascade hops and for aroma it was 2 ounces each of of Spalt and Columbus hops. The wort looked like molten copper!
I had a smack-pack of Wyeast Northwest Ale which was about six months expired. It took about 24 hours in a yeast starter to come alive but i was able to resurrect it. And now the beer is bubbling away...
Stay tuned for some more fun and crafty projects. It's been a busy summer and I have some writing to do.
