As an experiment in silliness, I'm brewing a 1-gal batch of something I can only call "Hard Kool-Ade".

3.5 cups sugar
1/4 tsp yeast nutrient
1 pkg yeast
water to make 1 gal
2 pkgs Kool-Ade, any flavor

Sounds gross.. (nothing personal)

seconded on grossness factor....

Suggestion: Give the kids plain ol Kool-Aid.

Go get some BMC. Same price and not so nasty as that sounds. Close... but not so nasty.

SWMBO is asking for a Kreik beer. I am taking her to the LHBS with me tomorrow to pick up the supplies and she is going to be the head brewer.

I envy you on that one!

If my SWMBO was that far into brewing....My wort would boil over...propane would run out.... house would catch on fire.... cause I would be....let us say.....distracted!

Be careful!

I'll be brewing my first all grain beer today. I went with AHS's Pale Rye Ale. I can't wait to get started. I'll be using my new 10 gallon megapot today (with ballvalve and brewmometer), my new bayou classic burner, and of course my new mash tun. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning.

Skipping work to brew is always a good thing in my book.

Tomorrow I'll be brewing a version of "Black Widow Porter", if I can keep my burner lit.

Tonight -25F.

Tomorrow forcast
Sunny. Highs 3 below to 2 above zero. North wind 5 to 10 mph. Wind chill values 35 below to 45 below zero.

I think Ill be tackling the Blood Orange Hefeweizen recipe from Sam Calagione's book extreme brewing. There is something about a beer that is actually pumpkin orange in colour that speaks to me.
