Pretty awesome, just like his products.

Inaugural Brew Update

First of all, great BrewBQ, lots of good food and great times, and beer. The equipment seems to work well, so that is a good sign. As for the beer, it went pretty well. The grains that were pre-milled seem to ball up in the mash (like flour in water) and I spent some time trying to break up all the balls. In doing so the temp of the mash went down too much and I added some more hotwater. So between the three issues (balled up grains and less exposure to the water, lower mash temp of 151degF, and more water added) the starting gravity was 1.062 instead of the 1.075 expected. This will give it less alcohol and probably taste less malty and more of a basic IPA. The color looked good. I'll have to update on how the fermentation is going.

Official Inaugural Brew

Its official. This Monday, Memorial Day, May 25th will be the inaugural brew of Robot Monkey Brewery. The brewing itself will start around 2pm and will be paralleled by a BBQ. We will be brewing "Angry Warrior Ogre IPA" which is a spin from the original Angry Ogre Ale from Beersmith which was one of the first great beers we brewed with Meat Robot Brewery. Its a monster of a brew, with a whopping 93.6 IBUs, Est OG: 1.075, Est FG: 1.020, Est color: 18SRM, Est Alc = 7.3%. I will post the notes we get when we finish, including issues, measurements, possibly pictures, etc. Hope to see everyone there.

Julios Spring Beerfest Sunday

Welcome!

Welcome to the official Robot Monkey Brewery. A subsidiary of Robot Monkey Films, and a sister brewery of Meat Robot Brewery (aka 6-String Brewery). You can also find us on Facebook, a group called "Central Mass Homebrewers".

This is a blog created for the brewery so we can share ideas, recipes, stories, pictures, and talk about our brews. I will publish notes, recipes and pictures from the brews we make, when possible. So relax and have a homebrew.
