I&#8217;ve been pretty busy with beer brewing and sharing a lot of it with neighbors by filling growlers, pitchers and pint glasses for them. Getting feedback is very helpful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently Pouring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The last half gallon or so of my Blackberry Wheat<\/li>\n<li>A 3 Gallon batch of an American Pale Ale dry-hopped with Citra (single Hop beer)<\/li>\n<li>2.5 gallons that&#8217;s left over of the Oaked Imperial Stout. It&#8217;s really balancing out over the last 2 months. It&#8217;s still too smokey for my taste but some people like it. I may bottle what&#8217;s left and sit on it for a while.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Currently Aging:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My 11.5-12.5% Barleywine. This is a best of a beer and right now it&#8217;s incredibly boozy so I have it in the closet at 62 Degrees to get some age on it. No idea how it will turn out but, every time I tap it, I think this is really sweet and has lots of citrus but is still way too boozy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Currently Fermenting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Another Wheat beer. Elizabeth wants me to do another blackberry addition. I&#8217;d prefer to do maple but she&#8217;s picky about beers so I&#8217;ll probably re-brew the blackberry wheat just for her.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>An Ommegang Hennepin clone. It&#8217;s a belgian-style saison beer with sweet orange peel and honey added. it is only one week into fermentation so I just added the pound of honey. Things are still pretty vigorous but it should be ready for my work&#8217;s home-brew competition next month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;re doing an unofficial competition at work where people can bring bottles or kegs. I was going to bring my small pale ale, wheat and saison and see what people think. Should be a success. We&#8217;ll see!<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s an update on things. My wild culture is really taking off. Guess I should get another carboy and do a wild beer. It&#8217;s a long fermentation process so better to start now.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I realized the other day that my beer closet was full of fermenting beer.
