no brewing lately




we haven't brewed anything for a little while....we are looking to alter a keg we found into a brewing kettle and have been holding off on brewing until we get that done....but our espresso stout is currently bottle-conditioning and we are thinking about cracking the first one this weekend....stay tuned for reviews and new brews....in the meantime here are some photos from previous batches

all in time

we have brewed three all-grain batches this semester already.....we are in the process of finishing off a keg and hope to cut out the top and put in a spigot to be used for brewing bigger batches, so far this spring we have brewed a espresso stout, and a maibock...we are really excited about both, hoping to try and keep better track of our ingredients and times and such on this blog.....keep checking
