Title: Friday evening brew
Post by: YeastInflection on August 08, 2013, 05:41:20 PM
We'll be having a bit of a brew Friday evening.

On the menu:

A double batch of Blonde Ale.

One naked.

One will become a head of red.

Well... we'll see how the beets hold up.

Come one, come all.

I'm supposed to be at the office barbeque Friday Evening.
I could detour here depending on the time.
I can head to Sheilas so I can have a few scoops.

Gonna keep it early enough, I'll be there around 6 I hope. It's going to be fairly low key. Just a brew, not a tasting.

I could only stay for a few hours and missed any gravity readings.
As always, great to meet with you all!

What was the OG?

OG was 1.070 before we chucked another pint glass of beetroot into it. Estimated OG is 1.073ish  ;D

Great night lads. Special thanks to Jason for all the work getting us started early so we weren't stuck there all night. As expected the beetroot took on a dark reddish colour from the temperature. I'll be adding another pint in a few weeks after it's chilled proper before bottling to brighten it up a bit. I'm excited to see how this turns out.
