Update. My buddy will be back from deployment. Nice! Same brewing plan but it will be good to have him back, and of course, watching him getting trashed off of two, maybe 3 beers.
Going for New Belgium Abbey Grand Cru clone. Anyone driving close to the brewery is welcome to watch, brew, drink, laugh at the Skins and then root for the G-Men.
Doing my first AG Hefeweizen this weekend (second AG batch), supplies arriving tomorrow Returned the poor false bottom that I got when ordering my mash tun, first AG was clogged the second I opened the valve and found grain easily got underneath cause the false bottom isn't perfectly flat but rather warped. Have a bazooka screen coming and it's my second AG batch. Rather positive things will go smoother this time!! Wish me luck
If I can manage it, I'm trying to hit a trifecta this weekend. Tomorrow I'll honor the many veterans in my family (and yours) with a (Bi)Centennial Blonde and my Navy officer brother-in-law in particular for getting me into this hobby with an Augustus Imperial IPA.
If my package arrives from AHS in time, I'll do a Mojave Red on Sunday. If not, I'll do it next weekend *SO addicted*
