Assuming FedEx makes good delivering my new Better Bottle tomorrow, I'm going to throw together a batch of cider. Otherwise, it'll be whatever day next week the thing arrives.
Argh! No dice, apparently they just like getting your hopes up. They sent the shipping notification 30 hours before they actually picked up the delivery. Jerks.
First batch has begun!!! I'm pumped!!!! One problem though, I've watched videos and read billions of threads and one thing I keep reading is you must have a homebrew, while you home brew. Since this is my first batch I don't have any.
So the question is..... Which came first, the home brew or the home brewer ?
Just cleaned up from my first double brew day. I did a pale ale, 4.5% abv, with loads of late citra additions. Its also my first time using WLP007, just looking to change it from 1056. I then did a brown ale with a pound of chocolate rye malt, 1/2 pound of flaked rye, and marris otter as a base. I am shooting for a bready, pumpernickel like beer for fall. This will be my test batch and I am splitting it between wlp002 and wlp028.
Black Ipa going on tomarrow at the ripoff time of early day also.Who decided to change time and add days to the year anyway? And why is the world not flat like it should be? And why cant i find a new cell phone battery anywhere?
Brewing up a half batch of Widmer's X-114 right now. Really looking forward to seeing how close it is. Should at least be decent since it's a scaled version of the actual recipe.
