| My friend and I are planning a Pumpkin Ale from a Cream Ale base. We have discovered that using the liquid White Labs picthable yeast vials work perfectly with the extract ales we have been producing. After just missing in a recent competition, we decided most of our short comings was due mostly by using dry yeast. Although, the beer was very drinkable, to a judge with exact tastes, it was recognizable. This will be our first attempt at a spiced beer and hope to be drinking it by Thanksgiving. We also plan to brew another first, mexican beer. This will be our 7th batch and it is amazing what you can learn from the more you brew but we gathered even more from reading our judges sheets from the competition. It was interesting to see how the judges varied on the same sample. But we found out a way to improve our brew from the experience. Our main goal isn't to win a competiton, maybe a small goal, but to brew really good beer and improve it each and every time. | |
