Making some beer. Hell yes! What will hopefully be a tasty IPA, from a Ninkasi clone recipe for TriCeraHops.
Thanks Schaarschmidt's for taking us to the Dry Dock Brewery and giving me motivation to tell my wife to get her butt into the crawlspace and dig out my beer making stuff...I kid.
I forgot how much fun making beer can be...but mostly I forgot pretty much how to do it (my last batch was in 1991). Wicked cool guys, bad food and killer beer...I am definitely not mad!
For about a week, K and I have been slinging names, phrases, thoughts back and forth...needing to name it...we landed on "dizzy hopscotch". I keep going downstairs to check on it, while its fermenting...like a dad checking on his (beer) baby. This morning it's gassy - therefore I need a blow off tube.
In two weeks it will go in a bottle and then another two weeks until we get to try it...I hope it doesn't suck.
Once our new neighbors move in (K's sister Amy & Nate, the chitlens and dog) we are going to build a kegerator and get down!
