A little back story of the original recipe I posted when this thread started regarding a name is this..
I am a mechanic, I did a job for a neighbor/friend on his truck. Waterpump on a hemi ram. Finished it up, knowing this guy has a few kids, works hard like me, all that, I gave a deal. I made a little, he saved a lot, we were all happy. I wasnt out to get rich. Either way, He picks up his truck, I wasnt home. Leaves me a envelope with some $$, he leaves a extra $80 with a note - Brew a beer, and name it Alan.. I laughed, and decided I would..
So the first round of this batch is Alan - it was with S04 yeast.. At the same time, I was working with a younger kid named Alex - Alex has a nickname - Tug Boat. Not sure why, but Tugs, Tugger, Tugboat it all stuck.. Good dude..
So I brewed it as a 10 gallon and split the yeast, S04 and wy1318..
I will be going back to a modified recipe to revisit the original, after I get this one on tap and see where it stands..
I only got into naming my beers after a good friend I kept giving growlers said "dude if you dont name these beers I will never remember which one I am drinking"
So names followed...
