Brewing Friends...
Living near the Wisconsin/Illinois boarder...and having a daugher working in New Glarus...I have a supply of the original New Glarus Brewing's "Spotted Cow," which SWMBO loves.
A week ago, I brewed my first all-grain batch...a "Spotted Cow" clone, we hope! I missed the mash and sparge temps, but when I racked it to secondary yesterday, it smelled really good!
Today, I brewed up a Northern Brewer partial mash clone called "Speckled Heifer." It's got a few more minutes to boil, and then into the fermenter it goes.
It will be interesting to compare the three when this final batch is fermented, bottled and conditioned! I'll keep you all posted.
