Sunny Brew Day

Worked from home today if you will. A crappy morning turned into another great Seattle day. Brewing up another batch of my stout I made back in November. Here are some of the details:

Stout
Malts: American 2-Row, Crystal, Flaked Oats, Special B, Roasted Barley, Chocolate Malt
Hops: Centennial, Willamette
Target ABV: 6.5%

It is almost exactly the same recipe as before because I thought that was a tremendous beer and wanted to do it again. I know that a stout isn't you typical spring beer, but I have a few things to sort out in the next few months as far as beer recipes go. As nice of a day as it is, the wind is reeking havoc with my burner, so hopefully I can still hit my numbers without a consistent boil.

The keggerator modifications are on hold until I go back to Lowe's to exchange some parts, the stuff I bought didn't work quite right. Basically what I am doing is putting quick releases on all of my CO2 hoses and regulator. Sounds super exciting I know, but when ever I want to take kegs anywhere it is a pain to unhook all of the hose clamps and such. It is also starting to mess up the end of my hoses. When it is done I can take my beer with me in a matter of seconds, which is finally legal to do (I think, maybe it is almost legal, but it will be).

Have another post in the works about my current progress and such. Might start it today, but with a pub crawl tomorrow afternoon and sailing on Sunday, don't hold your breath.
