All Purpose Brewing Update

Things have been hectic lately. All three of us are back in school, which makes common time much harder to come across. However, our Belgian Ale, It Takes Two To Tangelo, has been bottled, conditioned, and consumed, and it is fantastic.

Some photos from the bottling and drinking process:



Bare Bones Blond Ale continues to improve as it ages. It keeps getting clearer and more refined, and it's still great tasting. Check this out (compare to the barely-aged Belgian above for clarity)


Nifty, eh?

Our next endeavor will be an IPA, which we are brewing tomorrow. We haven't quite figured out what hops we are going to use, but I think that the plan is to make it a 100 Minute IPA, in the vein of Dogfish Head Brewery's 60, 90 and 120 minute IPAs. Tentative name is Centurion. We're also getting some friends together to try It Takes Two to Tangelo tomorrow during/after our brew. Hopefully the results are as positive as the taste test for Bare Bones Amber.

I think that covers everything for now. More posts and photos as things happen. Check back in a few days.
