Hey Folks,
Whenever my brother and I happen to be in the same town, we invariably strive to brew a collaborative beer together - something with shelf life that will last a few years. For our most recent collaborative beer, we decided to brew an Eisbock. Not only did we have to brew a doppelbock base-beer, but it also meant we had to do the freeze condensing too.
Given this was the first time I've ever tried freeze condensing a beer, I decided to take several pictures to photo-document how I implemented the process. Additionally, I took a few videos with sound in the hopes of capturing when the beer was "slushy" enough to call the freezing complete.
The full step-by-step of what we did can be found here:

Please let me know your thoughts or comments on the process as I enjoy the feedback (preferrable as a comment on the blog post, as its easier to track than there). Thanks!
Slainte!
