Well it has been a long while since I posted and a lot of brewing and other beer work has gone on around my home so look for a few updates!
Today I stepped back from all grain and just did a kit. Mostly because I put off finding a recipe too long before the local HBS was due to close for the weekend. But all is well, I'm going round two with a True Brew (tm) Belgian Ale kit. A cool feature of this kit is the rock candy sugar.
About a year ago I brewed this same kit and it went very well and I was delighted to finally have a Belgian beer ON TAP in my house! This had been a goal for longer than I care to admit.
Now I must look into some all grain recipes for Belgians and pick something out. Cheers!

Imperial Stout - October 4th
Just finished putting two fermenters of Munton's Gold Imperial Stout in the closet.
Mmmmm, happy yeast should start the process soon.
I've brewed this all extract kit for a couple of years now and I highly recommend it if you like a smooth rich flavored dark beer. There's not a lot I think I could do to improve on it however Rebel did a special order for me so I had to get three. Now I must research and contemplate if there are any adjuncts or additions that might go well with it.
10 gallons should last me and any visitors throughout the winter. Since another 5 gallon batch is likely to come into play soon - I may have to supply it up to the Christmas party. Mmm, stout.
Even though this is a kit, I'll go ahead and record the specs.
