Gentlemen,
Down here in Texas when April is over I stop brewing.
It is too hot,
and when native Texans are uncomfortable,
and I mean in the air-conditioning,
yeasts are uncomfortable too.
Last year the batches I bottled in may...
gradually fell in quality once the:
'real heat got upon us.'
They tasted:
not as good,
less good,
worse... !!!
Till I drank the last one July 28th,
{sniff}
{or was that the year before???}
Hmmmm?
Anyway,
as a result I am brewing a batch every other day
till about the last week in April.
I have enough DME and speciality grains for 8 batches,
{6 more after this one}
My bill at the Homebrew Headquarters was $300.00 !!!
But it was worth it.
I will try and drink store bought beer and ale,
wine even ...
in order to extend then supply of Mein Acht pfund Hammerbier
as long as possible.
Its this ...
or suffer store bought beer.
Tschuß
