Long Over Due

I have not been blogging as I have nothing to talk about right now, I haven't made beer for a while and I haven't made any news worthy progress in a while either.

As for my business planning, I have been getting great help from a lot of different people. That is both a gift and a curse. I really think I am learning a lot from businessmen who have had success throughout the years. Where it gets tricky is each person has their own little view of what PBC is going to be and they don't know anything about the brewing industry. It is tough sorting through their suggestions and applying them to the plan while maintaining the vision that I have for PBC. It is getting very frustrating and hopefully all for the best, but there are times I really wish I could say "shut-up, you don't have a clue what they are talking about." I am just venting right now and if you are one of the people that has been helping me I am talking about someone else.

I am brewing for the first time in a while today. I get to use some of my new equipment, but it is not put together in a real system, so it is similar to what I have been doing. Trying my hand at another Blonde Ale, I don't feel like I have had the most success with Blonde's so I need to try some more. I am going for a light bodied beer with a slightly spicy hop finish, here is what I've got:

Blonde Ale:
Malts: American 2-Row, Flaked Maize
Hops: Crystal, Saaz
ABV: ~4.5%
