My soft water Nottingham cream ale is starting to turn the corner after about three weeks in the keg. It’s still a bit brothy/bready/yeasty but it’s finally starting to clear. The Lemondrop hops are starting to shove the yeast out of the spotlight and I’m really enjoying them.
Certainly not a great beer and I’m not enthusiastic about getting to enjoy a keg of the swill, but I’m glad I brewed it. It confirmed the data that I gathered over the past two years and leaves me confident that a solid charge of gypsum is key to making the kind of light, dry beer that I enjoy. I’ll leave the soft water to the Czechs, they’re good at it. I’m not.

bottle is dead Jim...
I had to go back and dig up this post. PA State Store just held the limited lottery drawings for this year’s Van Winkle releases. I entered, didn’t win the right to buy any. But here’s what we’re dealing with in PA:Weller is one of the short supply limited releases every year that we have to put our names into a drawing for and literally win a lottery for the right to purchase one bottle here in PA. Very hard to come by.
