Thought would share this with my HBT inmates, I do the historical brewing thing you know. This year , I have been asked to be a guest curator for a year long brewing exhibit . I hand built a 1830's style brewery ( which I will post in the equipment thread - 1bbl all copper affair ), then brewed an old recipe from the same time period at the brew pub in my town. I have done a bunch of beers with them and did pretty well at the GABF in 2007 ( won the ProAM gold medal ) . I am excited about this one, because the recipe is decent and will be the first time most people will taste a historic style Old ALe like it, I hope they will enjoy it, I do . I also enjoy doing the portayal of a historic brewer with all the clothes and old equipment , people really seem to get a kick out of it.
We have an 18th Century plantation in town, where they have planted a small field of 2 row barley and hops for me ( a master gardener is tending my crops ). I have a bunch of historical brewing events planned for this year, and next , including a few lectures on historic brewery design and beer making.
