This weekend I will finally get back to home brewing for the first time since June/July of last year. I am lucky enough to be off Friday and have an extra vacation day that I am taking Monday. I figured there is no better way to start a long weekend than to brew up one of my best IPA recipes. I think I will try to blog along the way to share all the mishaps and funny stories. Learning to brew in a new place always leads to some sort of issue. Broken hoses, wrong fittings, learning how to elevate 180 degree water...I am pretty sure I will really miss my old house along the way!
Of course it wouldn't be much of a brew day without having some good beer around to sip on. Since the kegs have been dry for near forever I will have to venture out to a store. That should lead to a few more posts...if anyone is still reading! Plus I have an idea for another post that details one benefit of drinking American lagers for an extended period. Tune in for all the details!
Good luck with the IPA. I just brewed one up last week. Seems to be turning out ok.
