Hey all,
I'm back from a little excursion to Indio CA. It is high dessert land so the temp varies from 53 oF at night to 90 oF in the middle of the afternoon, crazy. So it is like going from early spring to late fall all in 14 - 15 hours. I saw the sun rise there for 3 days straight and I totally understand the line of the star spangled banner "purple mountains majesty". Amazing!
Any-who, beer wise the Alt has been replaced by the Smoked Dunkelweizen. I almost want to put the smoked in quotes since the apple wood smoked malt is so sweet and subtle and much more of an after taste then the first thing you taste like in years past. It just went on this weekend so it is going to need a few days to settle out completely. It is tasting great just a bit on the yeasty side right this second.
The cask has changed to the HH2 dry-hopped with Simcoe. This is a similar cask that we sent to NERAX North up at Novare Res. Since i wasn't able to make it up there a couple of weekends ago, I am excited to give this one a try.
Kate is bubbling away and will be ready in the 100+ days or so we have left. :)
cheers,
Tyler

are you guys going to have smutty Big A on tap at any point.
ReplyDeleteHow's the HH2 holding up? Any chance it'll still be around come this Saturday?
ReplyDeleteHad some Smoked Dunkelweizen today... superb, even in such a yeasty state! Keeps ya regular!!! Also, is it the Black Cat on, or the Oatmeal? Board there said Cat...
ReplyDeleteTod - great seeing you today.... Prosit!!!
To answer all your questions,
ReplyDeleteWe wont be having any Big A on tap here at the brewery. There is a possibility of us getting it in bottles at some point but time will tell.
The HH2 is holding up and tasting great. It will definitely be here this weekend.
Bier-man, I'm glad you are enjoying the Dunkel. I just cleared the line this morning and it is pouring with the correct amount of yeast now. It is tasting great!
I checked all the boards and tap markers this moring and they all said Black Cat stout, which is what we are pouring for a stout.
Thanks for always making sure we are on our toes. :)
Cheers,
Tyler
Tyler - Are you guys bottling any beers later this week? I grabbed a Dunkel yesterday (BTW, is this the Smoked Dunkel or the regular Dunkel? it just says Dunkelweizen on the bottle) and was hoping to get something else unique like the barleywine or hop harvest. Thanks.
ReplyDelete+! on the bottles of HH and Barley Wine.
ReplyDeleteSame, I cant wait for the barley wine! I still have 2 bottles of you wheat wine you brewed back in april, they should age quite nice
ReplyDeleteAny chance the Milk Stout will be on this Friday?
ReplyDeleteMatt,
ReplyDeleteI can't tell how much people are going to drink the BC Stout today. But BC Stout is getting low. Right now i would say there is a ~58% chance that the Milk will be on by Sat. But who knows what today will bring :)
Cheers,
Tyler
