Sure its been a couple of months, but I’m still here. Got a few quick updates, and then I can get back into the regular swing of things again.

– Since this is the frozen tundra here (not so much this year so far, but its coming) I have moved the brewery back down to the basement for the blizzard season.

This means I mostly brew 3 gallon batches for the next couple of months. All of my kegs are currently full. So these 3 gallon batches get bottled.

– My 3 gallon set up is electric. And I like it so much I have started to convert my full set up to electric as well. Getting the kettle ready is basically nothing. But the running of better power options outside for the summer is where most of the work will be.

-I actually have no (none, 0, zip) stouts kegged. But I do have one hell of a porter that I’m getting ready to tap. And will be going into full stout production here pretty soon. I need to get a few up and ready for the April contest.

– Picked up a few more Stouts the other day so look for more “reviews” soon.

– And lastly, a couple of homebrew buddies are going to brewing up the Ballast Point Homework series Porter. We each gonna take the recipe and brew it on our own systems. we all brew very differently, but in theory, we should all end up about the same. We will see.
