The Brew Blog

It’s been way too long since the last post, so I need to get everyone caught up on the goings on.

Well, we continue to brew…and drink…and share our passion for well-crafted homebrews. We’ve started to branch out a bit in terms of our experiments, bringing two batches of hard apple cider through the process. We bottle that today (11/7/2009) so we missed Halloween, but we’ll have it rolling by Thanksgiving. We fortified one batch with 5 pounds of honey and the other with 6 pounds of brown sugar. The results are totally different colors — both beautiful — and the potential for some bodacious alcohol content! We’ll have to see how they taste.

And back to beer…Scoob and Charles crafted a recipe for our X-periment. They used the grains from an Irish Red and the hops and yeast from our English Ale. The result was outstanding! Everyone loves it — it has a beautiful red hue and an amazing taste! Nice job guys.

On the business front, if you know people who are interested in investments, please spread the word. We’re definitely still working to get licensed — which is a lot of work — and costs a bit of money to boot. So, we are in the process of building business plans to use for investors. Our goal is that by this spring we are ready to move on the licensing. The interest in drinking our beers doesn’t seem to do anything but grow, so we remain encouraged that we have an opportunity — so we keep moving forward. We’ll keep you posted!

That’s about it. I need to let the delivery guys in — they just pulled up to deliver our new dryer. The old one died a horrible nasty death after about 20 years of existence. I’ll let you know later how the cider turned out!

Bottoms up!
