More Pilot Brewing

The blogging has fallen by the way side, I like to think because I am busy doing more important things, who knows. I have spent quite a bit of time at Schooner Exact helping out in a bunch of ways, which has been great. One of these days we will get around to kegging the Pale Ale that I made a few weeks back. Hopefully I have them this weekend and I will give a report back on how it turned out. I was able to make a second pilot batch this week, here is some details:

IPA
Malts: Pale, Munich, Crystal, Carahell
Hops: Amarillo, Columbus, Magnum, Simcoe, TBD (For dry-hopping, probably Citra and Cascade)
ABV: 6%

I missed the target gravity on this beer, so it wont be as strong as I planned. This is strange because I overshot the Pale Ale, which will probably have more alcohol than this one. Maybe I am labeling them wrong, but that is just semantics, this one has a shitload of hops.

I really hope to get back on the blog, right now I am more focused on getting a business off the ground, moving and the upcoming Dawgs season. Speaking of football, I might put up my weekly football emails up here instead of email them, remains to be seen.
