Early November Update

posted by Jon

Well, at this point in the month I was expecting to update you all to tell you that the cider is bottled and the Imperial Pumpkin was ready to transfer to the secondary. Instead I'm telling you that the cider is still bubbling away in the primary and the Imperial Pumpkin is going to be bottled today. Apparently the yeast that we used for the Pumpkin (White Labs English Ale WLP002) is a vigorous little bugger that finishes off a beer in a matter of days. The latest gravity reading on the Pumpkin was 1.022, so we're almost at 7% ABV.

Sinister (our Black IPA) should be ready for drinking in the next week or so. You will all be getting your first sixer then. Also, the cider will be bottled in the next week, so look forward to that as well. A reminder that the cider is $6 for a six-pack for those who want it.

The next brewing day is also this upcoming week. The Aukeman family will be joining us this time as we will be brewing Intruder Imperial Stout.
