No county fair, but I did enter the State Fair. One IPA, one Stout, and one Brown. I lost a whole corney of the brown except what I entered due to a loose connection. Almost cried at that!

Finally got a chance to brew this weekend! I'm working on some beers for some upcoming parties/weddings so they aren't exactly my favorite styles, but I will enjoy them never the less. I brewed two beers this weekend, the first was a standard american hef, and the second is what I am am calling a satana'pabst, basically a strong american style pilsner. I plan on bottling this and sneaking it into the coolers that already have the swill for a little strong surprise.

I just got a temperature control for my fridge, and so far I think my yeasties are much happier!

Kegged two beers two nites ago. One is a wheat stout, basic stout with 1/2 the 2 row replaced with wheat. Tasted it going into the keg and it seemed to have a astringent/tanin aftertaste, have to leave in the fridge for a bit and see how it turns out. Also kegged an sour orange honey, that tastes great so far.

Hops sprouts are coming out of the ground, both nugget and willamette are up, still waiting on the cascade.

I also just had a birthday, and I got a barley crusher! Now to start stocking up on the grains.....
