Random Stuff

What was scheduled to be a big week for me last week, turned into a waste of a week when all of my meetings got canceled.  Frustrating, but there isn't much that I can do, but I plan on turning this week into a big week. 

I found a location that I really hope turns into the home of Payette Brewing.  I have to sort some things out before I disclose all of the information, but I assure you that it could be great.  I also need to figure out some of my timing between raising the remaining capital and signing a lease.  Things are picking up and these posts might begin to get interesting soon (Probably the 10th time I've said that).

The Mutton Buster I made last week went okay.  There is a new homebrew store in Boise called Brewer's Haven where I got all of my supplies for this batch.  It is probably the best homebrew shop that I have ever been to.  Only problem that I had was that their mill setting was too wide and as a result, my efficiencies were low and I missed my numbers.  Sparing everyone of the detailed explanation, it isn't a huge deal and for the next batch I will ask them to tighten it up a bit so I can get better extract efficiencies.  So the Mutton Buster is only going to be around 4% and probably too hoppy, who knows, maybe it will be better that way.

I have a few IPA recipes ready to go and I might make a two batches this week.  Expect more pilot posts this week.  After a few IPA pilots, a batch of Jackalope Imperial IPA will also be on the docket.
