I had a Christmas Ale in Frementer #1, a 10 gallons Corny. The recipe is based on a Wee Heavy with cloves, ginger and orange peel to spice it up. A few weekends ago, I sampled it and was really disappointed.
So, I brewed a Brown Porter to have something nice to drink for the holidays. I sampled that and thought it very thin and insipid. That was in Frementer #2, also a 10 gallons Corny.
I fired up a simple cider so my wife would have something to drink. She is not a beer fan. The cider went into Fermenter#3, a 6.5 gallon Carboy. It's shaping up nicely.
SWMBO suggested I brew again this weekend and go for a simpler beer. I got everything for a Rye Porter, which I started this morning. I have hit every number with this recipe, so far.
The screwed part?
Well, I went to dump the Christmas Ale but gave it a sample before I tossed it. Wow! It's bucked up nicely! And the. Brown Porter has filled in a bit, too.
Now...no fermenters or space!!! And a batch 30 minutes into the boil.
