Wednesday, February 05, 2003 Beer! Greg and I brewed our second batch of beer last-night! It is a long process involving lots of boiling and waiting, but the wort is happily fermenting away now; tasty malt-sugars being consumed by a ravenous clan of San Francisco Lager yeast. Yummy. The beer is a "Pre Prohibition Lager" that we are using the aforementioned "San Francisco yeast" to ferment the beer at room temperature instead of the chilled environment that a true Lager needs. We added a secret ingredient (Ok, it was dried lemon peel...) to the mash to give it some high-notes besides the hops. So now we must wait a week before we can bottle the brew; in the meantime we need to come up with a name. Any suggestions? I neglected to take any pictures of the brewing process, well, because it isn't very visually interesting. In fact the process is MUCH more interesting to the nose than the eyes; the boiling mash runs the olfactory gauntlet from hamster chow to hot grape-nuts, to a weedy-herby stink. I quite enjoy the smell, but the wives present during the brewing were disturbed. In other goings-on, Eds.org has been up and down this week. I really have to get around to migrating the site to another server and registering the domain name. But I'm a lazy bastard so... posted by JMV | 2/05/2003 01:24:00 PM | |
