Brews 21 and 22; The Fallout

Brew #21 came out OK so far. It's in the keg with a FG of 1.010. Still gotta add some rye whiskey soaked in caraway seeds and it'll be finished to bring up to the Homebrewer's Jamboree this weekend. Also bringing the peach saison which came out wicked awesome!

Brew #22 went well as well, a "Mocktoberfest" or mock version of a German Oktoberfest. Instead of lagering it, which I don't have the time or equipment to do so, it uses a very dry American ale style yeast that should give it close enough crisp flavors of a good lager. It's an interesting experiment to see how it comes out. The name is Spocktoberfest. I also used the hops I harvested from an acquaintance in Worcester, and no idea on the strain of hops so that should also be very interesting.

Also big news, if all goes as planned I'll doing a brewing demo for The Fallout art festival at Scandinavian Athletic Club in Shrewsbury on October 1st. I'll be brewing Wormtown's Pumpkin ale, with supplies provided thanks to Wormtown and Ben, for which I get to keep the brewed beer. Most likely I'll share it with everyone. So the spectators will be able to see how the beer is brewed essentially then go get a pint inside. Should be a lot of fun. More info here:
