Happy National Homebrew Day

Actually, I should say Happy Belated National Homebrew Day - it was last saturday the 2nd. To celebrate I devoted pretty much my whole weekend to homebrew. Saturday I made a double batch (technically 2 separate batches). My brother-in-law is getting married in June and I am providing a wheat and a brown ale for the festivities.




Sunday I built a trellis for my outdoor hops. Basically it consists of two 4"x4" posts (6' and 12'). I sorta went overboard on this one - so much so that I'm going wait to describe its construction for another post.

i just used the yeast that came with it, which i believe was plain old nottinghams ale yeast. turned out pretty good. very smooth beer, with just a little wheat flavor that I suppose will be good for the masses.
